A combination device includes an optical fiber guide connected to a fastener for attaching a heatsink to a component and/or to a printed circuit board. As a component on a printed circuit board usually needs to be fastened to a heatsink for cooling, combining a heatsink fastener and a fiber guide allows a more efficient use of board space than using a fiber guide and a heatsink fastener separately. In one embodiment, the device includes a frame, one or more fiber guides attached to the frame, and one or more fasteners (e.g., a snap-on mechanism) connected to the frame. The frame may generally have a rectangular shape, with fiber guides attached to the four corners of the rectangular frame and fasteners attached to the side of the rectangular frame. The fiber guide may be designed to protect the fragile optical fiber and prevent bending of the cable beyond its minimum bend radius.
