Abstract

See full text

An electronic system having a set of circuit boards and an interconnect. Each of the set of circuit boards includes a set of fiber optic circuit board connectors. The interconnect includes (i) a first planar member, (ii) a second planar member that is substantially parallel to the first planar member, and (iii) a set of fiber optic cable assemblies. Each fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable segment, a first fiber optic interconnect connector which fastens to one end of that fiber optic cable segment and a second fiber optic interconnect connector which fastens to another end of that fiber optic cable segment. Each fiber optic interconnect connector extends through a hole defined by one of the first and second planar members. Furthermore, each fiber optic interconnect connector is configured to engage with a fiber optic circuit board connector.
