Abstract :
A modular adapter system has been developed for coupling ST, SC, and PC fiber-optic connectors. An adapter in this system comprises one part, permanently mounted in a panel and serving as one connector port, and a second part, easily attached to the first and serving as the other connector port. Families of attenuators are included in the system. Design and performance are discussed
