Abstract
A coupler adapter has a base and at least one alignment feature disposed upon the base. The at least one alignment feature is constructed for aligning a multi-fiber bundle to an opto-electronic module to permit transmission of optical signals between the multi-fiber bundle and optical devices within the opto-electronic module when the opto-electronic module is larger in span than a spacing of alignment elements used in a commercial connector that holds the multi-fiber bundle.
