An optical connector system joining waveguides in two printed circuit boards. A flexible optical conductor is connected at one end to one of the boards. The flexible conductor includes at its free end an alignment structure that provides a separable, low loss interface to an alignment structure coupled to the waveguide on the other board. The ends of the waveguides are enclosed in housings that protect the waveguides from abrasion and contaminates, but expose the waveguides when the connectors mate.
