ABSTRACT:
An optical electronic coupling device (100) including a molded waveguide (101, 301, 401) having a plurality of core regions (105) surrounded by a cladding region (103). Cross-sections of the core regions (105) are exposed in an opening (113, 213,313) at one end of the waveguide. An optical cable (102, 303) having a plurality of optical fibers (107, 108, 109, 300) with core regions (123, 124, 125) is inserted into the opening (113, 213, 313), thereby aligning the core regions (123, 124, 125) of the optical fibers (107, 108, 109, 300) with the exposed cross-sections (122) of the core regions (105) of the optical electronic device (100).
