Abstract
An adapter includes a conductive plate made of an electrical conductive material and disposed between first and second receptacles for individually accommodating first and second optical connector plugs. Optical fibers accommodated in the connector plugs are optically connected to one another in an opening formed in the conductive plate that shields electromagnetic waves which would be radiated to the outside through the optical connector plugs. The conductive plate is grounded and excellent in electromagnetic shielding effect.
