This model relates to an adapter, especially an adapter for inserting an optical fiber connector.

Generally, the adapter connects different types of optical fiber connectors through different types of slots on the front and rear sides, so that these optical fiber connectors can be connected by signals. Also because the adapter needs to be connected to different connectors, it is often necessary to pass the adapter through and fix it on a panel. However, the general adapter is only fixed on the panel by a tight fit. After a long time of use, the adapter is prone to loosening and swinging. In this case, this causes eccentricity or offset between the connectors that require precision fitting, and causes the optical performance of the connector to fluctuate greatly during use. In addition, the number of slots provided for the current adapters is fixed. If a different number of slots is to be used, it is only necessary to re-mould the adapter with a different number of slots, which is not conducive to modularization and difficult to reduce costs.
