Abstract
An optical fiber system that enables direct board-to-board optical communication is described. The optical fiber system does not require data transmission through the backplane and, consequently, avoids the complexity and possible communication delays that would be required if data transmissions had to go through the backplane. The optical fiber system includes a positioner that is configured to urge opposite ends of two or more optical fibers respectively toward opposed optical devices that are coupled to facing sides of adjacent printed circuit boards coupled to a common backplane. The optical fiber system may be installed and removed quickly and easily, and may be readily retrofitted into existing computer systems.
