Abstract
An optical fiber connective device enables one or more optical fiber(s) to be precisely mounted, essentially perpendicular, to a substrate. The connective device includes a support plate having holes with optical fiber(s) precisely mounted there through. The support plate, with mounted optical fiber(s), is then inserted into aligned holes in the substrate and attached to the substrate. The precise mounting of the connective device to the substrate enables optional coupling of optical signals from the optical fiber(s) to optoelectronic chips mounted over holes of the substrate.
