Patent ID: 8596880

Claim:
An optical fiber connector adapter for coupling a first optical fiber connector to a second optical fiber connector, the optical fiber connector adapter comprising: a lens body comprising a first surface and an opposite second surface parallel with the first surface; at least one positioning hole defined in the first surface and configured for engaging at least one positioning post of the first optical fiber connector; at least one lens hole defined in the first surface and at least one first lens formed on a bottom in the at least one lens hole, the at least one first lens being beneath the first surface and adjacent to the at least one positioning hole, the at least one first lens configured for optically coupling to at least one lens of the first optical fiber connector; and at least one positioning post and at least one second lens protruding from the second surface, at least one positioning post configured for insertion into at least one positioning hole of the second optical fiber connector, the at least one second lens being aligned with the at least one first lens, the at least one second lens configured for optically coupling to at least one lens of the second optical fiber connector.
