Abstract
There is provided a method for fabricating an optical printed circuit board. The method includes preparing a first printed circuit board portion with an array of optical fibers attached thereon, assembling an optical fiber connector with the first printed circuit board portion such that the optical fiber connector is arranged at ends of the array of optical fibers, and attaching one or more second printed circuit board portions to the first printed circuit board portion to form an optical printed circuit board with the optical fiber connector embedded therein. The optical fiber connector includes an engagement mechanism arranged for engagement with an external optical device.
