1. A multi-optical fiber (MF) connector module comprising:
a module body comprising:
a top side, a bottom side, a front end, a back end, a left side, and a right side;a chamber formed in the top side of the module body, the chamber having at least a front wall, a bottom, a first side wall, and a second side wall;a ridge, or corner, opposite the front wall of the chamber and extending in a direction that is generally parallel to the front wall of the chamber;an optics system disposed in or on the front wall of the chamber; anda plurality of V-grooves formed in the bottom of the chamber, each V-groove having a front end and a back end that is opposite the front end, the front end of each V-groove being proximate the optics system, the V-grooves having respective optical axes that are parallel to one another and generally perpendicular to the front wall of the chamber, wherein the ridge is a greater distance from the bottom side of the module body than the grooves are from the bottom side of the module body, and wherein when a plurality of end portions of optical fibers are laid in the chamber, rear locations on the fiber end portions are in contact with the ridge and end faces of the optical fibers are proximate respective V-grooves of the plurality of V-grooves. |
