Abstract: A blade includes a circuit board to insert into a slot of a chassis, an optoelectronic device on the circuit board, an optical media that is flexible, coupled to the optoelectronic device, and able to guide a plurality of optical signals, a first connector optically coupled to the optical media, and a standoff on which the first connector is mounted. The first connector includes first alignment features shaped to mate with second alignment features of a second connector. The standoff provides the first connector with sufficient freedom of motion to permit the first alignment features to shift the first connector relative to the second connector and into a seated position as the first connector and the second connector move toward each other.
