Claim 3:
4. A fiber optic adapter comprising:
a shell body defining an inner space that extends in a front-rear direction;
a dividing wall disposed in said inner space and dividing said inner space into two receptacles that are arranged in the front-rear direction, said dividing wall being formed with a plurality of bore holes that communicate with said receptacles;
an installation seat disposed on a surface of said dividing wall, located in one of said receptacles, and defining a plurality of through holes that respectively communicate with said bore holes; and
a securing seat disposed on another surface of said dividing wall and located in another one of said receptacles, said securing seat including a plurality of base walls that are connected in pairs, a plurality of pairs of clamping walls, and a plurality of clenching walls, each one of said base walls cooperating with a respective one pair of said clamping walls and a respective one of said clenching walls to form a ring-shaped structure, with each adjacent two of said base wall, said pair of clamping walls and said clenching wall defining a gap therebetween, said ring-shaped structure defining a communicating hole that communicates with a respective one of said bore holes of said dividing wall;
wherein each pair of said base walls that are connected to each other are arranged in an up-down direction which is perpendicular to the front-rear direction, the pairs of said base walls that are spaced apart being arranged in a left-right direction which is perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction;
wherein said shell body includes a main wall portion surrounding said inner space and having opposite sides in the left-right direction, and a plurality of guiding rail portions protruding from one of said sides of said main wall portion, said guiding rail portions being spaced apart in the up-down direction, each guiding rail portion being elongated in the front-rear direction;
wherein said main wall portion is formed with a plurality of guiding grooves in the other one of said sides of said main wall portion, said guiding grooves being spaced apart in the up-down direction, each guiding groove being elongated in the front-rear direction; and
wherein said guiding rail portions are adapted to be engaged respectively with said guiding grooves of another fiber optic adapter, and said guiding grooves are adapted to be engaged respectively with said guiding rail portions of another fiber optic adapter.
