Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical fiber connector arrangement that finds application in the general field of optical interconnection. The optical fiber connector arrangement (935) comprises a first optical fiber connector (922) including a first optical fiber (905) and a counterpart optical fiber connector (923) including a counterpart optical fiber (925); wherein the first optical fiber connector (922) is configured to mate with the counterpart optical fiber connector (923). The first optical fiber (905) of the first optical fiber connector (922) has a core diameter D1 and a Numerical Aperture NA1; and the counterpart optical fiber (925) of the counterpart optical fiber connector (923) has a counterpart core diameter D2 and a counterpart Numerical Aperture NA2. At least one of the ratio (D1/D2) or the ratio (NA1/NA2) either exceeds 1.15 or is less than 0.85.
