Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided that enable N female multi-optical fiber connector modules disposed on a first structure to be simultaneously blind mated with N male multi-optical fiber connector modules disposed on a second structure, where N is a positive integer that is equal to or greater than one. Enabling the male and female multi-optical fiber connector modules to blind mate with one another obviates the need to individually interconnect the modules with optical cables. Each module is mounted on either a male or female socket, which, in turn, is mounted on the first or second structure. The first structure may be, for example, a rack having at least one slot configured to receive a server box, in which case the second structure is the server box itself.
