ABSTRACT:
A module-to-fiber connection includes a fiber optic module and a fiber optic cable assembly. The fiber optic module includes (1) a ferrule interface having a port for receiving a ferrule, (2) an optoelectronic device such as a light source or a photodetector, and (3) a first lens having a first focus located at the optoelectronic device. The fiber optic cable assembly includes (1) the fiber and (2) the ferrule receiving the fiber. The tip of the ferrule includes a second lens having a second focus located at the tip of the fiber. When the ferrule is inserted into the port, the optical axes of the first and the second lenses are substantially parallel.
