Abstract
There is provided an adapter that fits most standardized fiber optic cable connectors to allow quick field installations. The adapter includes a split diameter. The smaller diameter fits within a rear back shell of the connector and receives a fiber stub from the connector. The larger diameter abuts the rear of the rear back shell and receives an optical fiber. The adapter includes a pair of mated resilient members that forms a fiber guide within the adapter. The fiber stub and a bare optical fiber of the optical fiber are optically spliced within the fiber guide formed within the resilient members.
