Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates generally to optical interfaces for data communication and, more particularly, to a ferrule-less optical fiber apparatus for optical backplane connector systems. A ferrule-less optical backplane connector assembly includes a substrate having at least a pair of optical guide receiving structures formed therein, the pair of optical guide receiving structures further being formed at substantially a right angle with respect to one another so as to guide a corresponding first and second optical guide into optical alignment with one another.
