Summary:An apparatus for performing vibration testing of fiber optic components is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes a base member and a mounting assembly for holding a plurality of connectors therein, The plurality of connectors optically couple a plurality of fiber optic cables with one another in a serial configuration. In addition, a securing mechanism for adjustably secures the mounting assembly in a selected axial orientation with respect to the base member, wherein the mounting assembly allows simultaneous vibration testing of each of the plurality of connectors.
