Techniques for forming a fiber optic connection between a first connection assembly (22) that provides alignment members (40) and a second connection assembly (24) that provides grooves (52) such that a central axis (54) of each groove of the second connection assembly is substantially perpendicular with a central axis of a corresponding alignment member of the first connection assembly. Each alignment member/groove pair can be positioned and oriented to control positioning of the first and second connection assemblies relative to each other in a single direction but allow movement in other directions to prevent physical stressing of the connection assemblies. Each alignment member/groove pair forms a self-aligning mechanism that can be used to align a first and second array of fiber ends to provide effective light transfer between fiber optic cables. |
