A coupler adapter (320, 620) for attaching a multi-fiber connector (330, 630) holding fiber bundles (340, 640) to an opto-electronic module (300) when the size of the opto-electronic component (310, 610) for the module (300) is larger than the spacing of the high precision alignment elements (332) used in commercial connectors (330). The adapter includes alignment features (324, 410), for example guide pins, that may be mounted on a base (328) of the adapter (320, 620) or directly to the module (300). A window (322) may be used on the base (328) to permit transmission of optical signals for the fiber bundles (340, 640) to interact with the opto-electronic module (300). |
