A coupler is provided for coupling standard optical fiber connectors of the type with a ferrule extending from a connector housing. The coupler has a monolithic ferrule sleeve that defines a passageway configured for receiving and operatively aligning the ferrules from the two connectors to be coupled. A first latch portion is spaced from and generally parallel with the ferrule sleeve. A midpoint of the first latch portion is connected to a midpoint of the ferrule sleeve. A second latch portion is similarly connected to the ferrule sleeve opposite the first latch portion. The first and second latch portions are configured for engaging the connector housings of the connectors to be coupled.
