  • Mountable optical fibre couplers
    Patent number: 6334715
    Abstract: A fiber optic adaptor is provided which facilitates the connection of either an ST-terminated fiber or an FC-terminated fiber to another FC-terminated fiber, or to some other optical device. The adaptor has a pair of pins mounted on supports connected to an FC coupling receptacle. The pins have extended and retracted positions. When extended, the pins engage the J-shaped slots of the ST-terminated fiber, and when retracted, they are out of the way allowing the FC-terminated fiber to be connected to the receptacle. In another embodiment, an adaptor is provided which facilitates the connection of either an ST-terminated fiber or an SC-terminated fiber to another SC-terminated fiber.
