The present invention provides in part an optical backplane for use with a communications equipment chassis, an optical communications system including the optical backplane, and a method of use therefor. The optical backplane, in one embodiment of the invention, may include a reflector system coupled to a wall of a communications equipment chassis and having a signal incidence surface and a signal reflective surface. The signal incidence surface may be positioned on the wall and optically alignable with a transmitter positioned within the communications equipment chassis. Further, the signal reflective surface may be positioned on the wall and optically alignable with a receiver positioned within the communications equipment chassis.
