An assembly of an optical interconnect module adaptable for mating with an optical connector having at least one optical fiber and an alignment pin. A method of assembly includes the steps of (1) mounting an optical device onto a connector body, wherein the connector body is a portion of the optical interconnect module, and wherein the optical device is operable for transmitting or receiving optical signals to/from the optical fiber, (2) inputting a relative position between the alignment pin and an end of the optical fiber, (3) and forming a slot in the connector body by using the measured relative position between the alignment pin and the end of the optical fiber, wherein a relative position between the slot and the optical transceiver mirrors the relative position between the alignment pin and the end of the optical fiber so that the optical device and the end of the optical fiber are substantially aligned to permit transmission of the optical signals when the optical connector and the optical interconnect module are mated, wherein the slot is adaptable for receiving the alignment pin.
