Abstract :
A modular adapter system has been developed for coupling ST, SC, and FC fiber-optic connectors. An adapter in this system comprises two parts: one is permanently mounted in a panel; and a second part, containing the alignment sleeve, is easily attached to the first. Families of attenuators are included in the system. Design and performance are discussed
