Abstract
An optic fiber connection system in which a first connector () on a daughter board () can slide towards a second connector () on a mother board () until the daughter board is latched and the connectors are fully mated, which assures proper mating despite overtravel or undertravel of the daughter board. The first connector has a frame () fixed to the daughter board and a first connector body () that is slideable within the frame (), against the biasing of body springs (), so the body does not have to move further forward while the frame and daughter board continue to move forward to a fully installed daughter board position.
