An opto-electronic device includes a chassis having a backplane, at least one opto-electronic component housed in the chassis, and an optical cable optically coupled to the opto-electronic component. The backplane has a thru-hole through which the optical cable extends to an exterior of the chassis. An optical fiber adaptor is provided for communicating optical signals between an external device and the opto-electronic component housed in the chassis. The optical fiber adaptor includes a housing assembly secured to an exterior of the backplane of the chassis, at least one external optical mating element located in the housing assembly for engaging with a complementary mating element of the external device, and at least one internal optical mating element located in the housing assembly. The optical cable has a complementary mating element for engaging with the internal optical mating element. The internal and external optical mating elements are located external to the chassis.
