Abstract

See full text

An optical communications card is provided that has multiple parallel optical communications modules mounted on one or both sides of the card. A plurality of the optical communications cards can be edge-mounted and/or mid-plane mounted in an optical communications system such that the cards are electrically connected to a motherboard PCB. Because the spacing, or pitch, between the edge-mounted or mid-plane mounted cards can be very small, the cards can be mounted with very high density to provide the optical communications system with very high bandwidth.
