摘要: Multi-fiber fiber optic connectors ( 22-26, 40 ) are described. The 22-26 enable direct board-to-board optical communication but do not require data transmission through a backplane 12 ). In one aspect, connector includes plurality of fibers 42 terminating at proximal and distal ends, flexible support 44 configured to hold the in an elongated spaced-apart three-dimensional array characterized by insignificant coupling between has end face 46 which ends terminate. is sized arranged contact port 88, 90, 112, 114, 134, 136, 164, 166 device 68, 102, 128, 158 whereupon or more couple another formed from core material with characteristic refractive index. embedded integral cladding index that lower than material.
