Abstract

An electronic package and/or package lid includes at least one connection slot for receiving a line, such as an optical fiber. The package and/or package lid also includes at least one sealant slot proximate the connection slot. Optical fibers are connected to a component, such as an opto-electronic component, through the connection slot. A sealant provided via the sealant slot hermetically seals the optical fibers within the connection slot.
