Abstract

See full text

Technologies for blind mating of optical connectors in a rack of a data center are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a sled can be slid into a rack and an optical connector on the sled will blindly mate with a corresponding optical connector on the rack. The illustrative optical connector on the sled includes two guide post receivers which mate with corresponding guide posts on the optical connector on the rack such that, when mated, optical fibers of the optical connector on the rack will be aligned and optically coupled with corresponding optical fibers on the optical connector of the sled.
