Blind mating of a rack and panel type fiber optic connector is accomplished by a course guide pin mounted within a connector mating block which is associated with a printed circuit board. The guide pin mates with a guide pin bushing provided in a chassis wall, thereby assisting in an initial nonangular movement of the conductors relative to one another and assisting in the parallel translation, as necessary, of a fiber-containing socket relative to a fiber containing connector pin. The floating part of the connector, specifically the socket, rides on a Teflon washer face and allows only lateral movement of the socket, so that there is effectively no or only minimal angular movement during the initial mating of the socket and the pin. Once the two have become initially mated, there is an accurate urging of the fiber optic pins together for extremely low loss abutment within the interior of the pin or jack portion of the rack and panel fiber optic connector.
