Abstract
The authors propose a novel optical fibre interconnection component for use with printed circuit boards. The component consists of fibre ribbon which is moulded into a wiring pattern and terminated with a newly developed multiple fibre physical contact (FPC) connector. A patterned 32 fibre ribbon with 8-fibre FPC connectors is described which has a low insertion loss of 0.22 dB and a high return loss of 61.7 dB
