ABSTRACT:
A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board with an optical fiber embedded in a flexible layer of the board. The flexible layer is detachable whereby it may be bent out of the board via an opening in an upper layer thereof to allow coupling of the fiber with an input/output device, e.g., another fiber. In an alternative embodiment the flexible layer extends beyond the edges of the board.
