本文所揭示之實施方式包含稠密光纖連接器組件及相關連接器與光纖纜線，適合用於為設備機架等中之光學底板建立光學連接。在有關於此的一個實施方式中，提供光纖連接器。光纖連接器係配置以直接光學連接於光學底板中。光纖連接器係由至少一個光纖連接器本體、在該至少一個光纖連接器本體中之至少一個光纖套管組成。光纖套管係配置以支撐纖材支數，且用以使纖材開口光學對準配置在光纖連接器本體上的透鏡。光纖連接器係光學底板光纖連接器或刀鋒光纖連接器。
就此點而言，第2A圖 與第2B圖 說明資料中心20 ，第2A圖 與第2B圖 分別說明了示例性設備機架22 之前視與後視圖。雖然在第2A圖 與第2B圖 中僅說明一個設備機 架22 ，但應理解在資料中心20 處也可存在複數個設備機架22 。設備機架22 係配置以支撐配置在設備機架22 中機架模組外殼26 中的資訊處理模組24 。舉例而言，資訊處理模組24 係包含電腦伺服器、切換器及電腦儲存裝置，且資訊處理模組24 係分別稱為伺服器刀鋒或儲存刀鋒。如下文將進一步詳細說明，本文提供了光纖連接器、連接器組件、纜線、外殼以及其他相關光纖構件與方法，該等構件與方法用以連接及互連資訊處理模組24 ，以增加資訊處理模組24 的資料處理量，因而增加資料中心20 的處理量。光纖的優點包含相當寬的頻寬及低雜訊操作，因此會得到較高的資料處理量。
繼續參照第2A圖 與第2B圖 ，因為光纖構件係用以連接及互連資訊處理模組24 ，故使用光纖纜線。需要或有需要提供光纖纜線管理與整齊收納，並佈設路線(routing)以避免維護資料中心20 的複雜度，及避免妨礙配置在機架模組外殼26 中的資訊處理模組24之間的空氣氣流或使妨礙最小化。就此點而言，如下文將進一步詳細說明者，可設置光學底板延伸模組28 。如第3圖 所示，光學底板延伸模組28 係配置以附裝至設備機架22 的後側30 及機架模組外殼26 ，以管理及佈設從光纖連接延伸至資訊處理模組24 的光纖纜線32 。
一般如第3圖 所示以及如本文中後續之說明，光學底板延伸模組28 係各包含由延伸模組外殼35 所限定之內部空間34 ，用於保持與佈設光纖纜線32 。如第3圖 之光 學底板延伸模組28 的放大圖所示，光學底板延伸模組28 也支撐著附裝至光纖纜線32 的複數個底板光纖連接器36 。光學底板延伸模組28 係支撐通過延伸模組外殼35 的後側38 而配置的底板光纖連接器36 ，以形成光學底板。當安裝光學底板延伸模組28 時，光學底板係配置以直接光學連接於配置在資訊處理模組24 的互補性光纖連接器，以建立光纖連接。「直接連接」是表示並沒有使用中間纜線來產生連接。一個連接器係直接連接於另一連接器。光纖連接可為同一機架模組外殼26 內、且因而為同一光學底板延伸模組28 內之資訊處理模組24 之間的內部連接。然而，在一個實施方式中，光學底板延伸模組28 也可含有光學互連埠40 ，以使光學底板延伸模組28 之間產生互連及/或導向至資訊處理模組24 。
本文所揭示之實施方式包含了適於為設備機架中光學底板建立光學連接之稠密光纖連接器組件與相關連接器及光纖纜線。就此點而言，第4A圖 說明了第2B圖 之光學底板延伸模組28 的右側透視圖，光學底板延伸模組28 係於機架模組外殼26 的後方直接光學連接至資訊處理模組24 。第4B圖 與第4C圖 為資訊處理模組24 的右側透視圖，其中機架模組外殼26係經移除以求清晰。如第4B圖 及第4C圖 中放大圖所示，該等圖係說明且設有一種示例性稠密光纖連接器組件42 ，以增進對於通過第2A圖 至第3圖 之光學底板延伸模組28 之資訊處理模組24 的直接光學連接。稠密光纖連接器組件或相關構件是 支撐有大量光纖者，以於稠密區域中提供較大的光纖連接。提供稠密光纖連接係可提供較大的資料處理量。舉例而言，第4B圖 與第4C圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件42 係支撐任何適當數量的光纖連接，例如64條、128條、256條光纖(或更多)，以提供所需要之光纖連接數量。
繼續參閱第4A圖 至第4C圖 ，且將進一步詳細說明如下，稠密光纖連接器組件42 是由一或多個光纖連接器所組成，該一或多個光纖連接器在此實施方式中係底板光纖插頭44 。底板光纖插頭44 係配置為通過延伸模組外殼35 (見第3圖 )的後側38 。術語「底板」是指置於光學底板延伸模組28 中。稠密光纖連接器組件42 也包含固定在資訊處理模組24 上的一或多個刀鋒光纖連接器，該一或多個刀鋒光纖連接器於此實施方式中係刀鋒光纖插槽46 。術語「刀鋒」是表示一種卡件、板件或其他載體，用以提供資訊處理模組24 (係機械承接於機架模組外殼26 中)之構件。刀鋒光纖連接器46 係連接至資訊處理模組24 中的構件，以增進自該等構件之資料傳送。因此，當底板光纖插頭44 匹配於刀鋒光纖插槽46 時，即對資訊處理模組24 建立光學連接。該等光學連接係可經由連接至底板光纖插頭44 (見第3圖 )的光纖纜線32 而通過光學底板延伸模組28 中的內部連接及/或通過光學互連埠40 之互連而佈設路線至其他資訊處理模組24 。
第5圖 為第4B圖 與第4C圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件42 的放大透視圖。在此實例中，稠密光纖連接器組件42 係 由稠密資訊處理模組光纖插槽(「刀鋒光纖插槽46 」)組成，該等稠密資訊處理模組光纖插槽係配置以承接與直接光學連接至稠密光學底板延伸模組光纖插頭(「底板光纖插頭44 」)。第6A圖 為第5圖 之底板光纖插頭44 的放大透視圖，第6B圖 為第5圖 之刀鋒光纖插槽46 的放大透視圖。注意稠密光纖連接器組件42 並不限於此種連接器型態。舉例而言，刀鋒光纖插槽46 係可配置為插頭，而底板光纖插頭44 係可配置為插槽。
第7A圖 為第5圖 與第6A圖 之底板光纖插頭44 的透視分解圖。參照第5圖 、第6A圖 與第7圖 ，在此實施方式中，底板光纖插頭44 係含有4個底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 。各底板光纖插頭44 係支撐了64條光纖48(1)-48(4) 。下文將進一步詳細說明，底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 係配置以支撐多個光纖纜線32(1)-32(4) ，以於底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 中提供高密度光纖支數(count)。在此實施方式中，光纖纜線32(1)-32(4) 係各含有複數個成束的光纖纜線；然而，其他實施方式係使用不含纜線光纖，例如成束或未成束之光纖。提供底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) (係配置以承接成束的光纖纜線)是一種使底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 可支撐高密度光纖支數的方法，因為成束的光纖纜線係平坦的且在光纖支數對空間之關係上是有效率的。另外，在此實施方式中，各光纖纜線32(1)-32(4) 係由複數個成束的纜線組成，該等纜線係可彈性提供內部連接以及由光學底板延伸模組28 所增進之互連。各光纖纜線32(1)-32(4) 係依設計而不是必須要與相同的光纖連接器內部連接或互連。
繼續參照第6A圖 與第7圖 ，各底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 係設置於底板連接器框體50 中，以使底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 群組在一起。底板連接器框體50 係由塑膠構件組成，該構件係經模造或衝壓而成(非限制之實例)。底板連接器框體50 係含有複數個開口52(1)-52(4) ，該複數個開口係配置以承接底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 。底板連接器框體50 也含有適當數量的固定特徵結構，例如自連接器框體50 的端部56(1) 、56(2) 延伸以使底板連接器框體50 固定至延伸模組外殼35 (見第3圖 )之後側38 的兩個垂片54(1) 、54(2) 。各固定垂片54(1) 、54(2) 含有開口57(1) 、57(2) ，該開口係配置以承接固鎖件，以使具有底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 之底板連接器框體50 固鎖至延伸模組外殼35 (見第3圖 )，以形成光學底板而供連接至刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 。
第7A圖 也更詳細說明了底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 。各底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 係含有光纖連接器本體與光纖套管，該光纖連接器本體具有光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 之形式，而該光纖套管具有光纖插頭套管60(1)-60(4) 之形式。光纖插頭套管60(1)-60(4) 係配置為設置通過光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 的第一端部62(1)-62(4) ，且設置在光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 的內部腔體中。光纖48(1)-48(4) 是暴露的且由光纖纜線32(1)-32(4) 的護套64(1)-64(4) 所 製成，如果需要的話，光纖48(1)-48(4) 係與設置在光纖插頭套管60(1)-60(4) 的端面68(1)-68(4) 中的纖材開口66(1)-66(4) 對準。光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 的第二端部69(1)-69(4) 含有透鏡70(1)-70(4) ，該等透鏡係配置以與光纖插頭套管60(1)-60(4) 的纖材開口66(1)-66(4) 對準。透鏡70(1)-70(4) 係可於底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 匹配於刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 時對光纖48(1)-48(4) 產生光學連接。繼續參照第7A圖 ，光纖插頭套管60(1)-60(4) 的目的在於，在纖材處理期間以及在插置到光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 期間使光纖48(1)-48(4) 固持在一起。光纖48(1)-48(4) 的雷射處理可提供一種快速有效的方法而在光纖48(1)-48(4) 上製造高品質端面以供端接。可供予光纖48(1)-48(4) 之雷射處理的實例係說明於2011年2月16日申請之美國專利申請案第13/028,799號(名稱為「具接合連接器之陣列式光纖的雷射處理方法」)中。就此點而言，第7B圖 說明了第一種方法以利用保護元件71 而對複數個光纖48 雷射處理。保護元件71 係用以保護陣列中不希望雷射處理的光纖48 (由於不希望雷射處理的光纖48 係位於比欲處理之光纖48係離雷射更遠處)。舉例而言，光纖插頭套管60 具有以第一距離配置於第一列73 中以及以第二距離配置於第二列75 中之光纖48 ，因此雷射無法針對兩種距離而聚焦；可依需要而設置較多或較少列。如圖所示，光纖48 的第一列73 與第二列75 係示意性地繪示為配置在光纖插頭套管60 中。保護元件71 可依使用材料類型而在雷射通過待處理光纖之後反射、吸收及/或分散雷射能量。舉例而言，若保護元件71 是一種具有平滑表面的材料(例如加工後的鋁、不銹鋼等)，則將具有高反射度。另一方面，若保護元件71 是由雲母、碳、陶瓷板或其他類似的有孔材料所形成，則將具有高吸收度。另外，保護元件71 的分散度係根據表面磨光而定。換言之，表面越粗糙，分散度越高。可產生分散度之保護元件71 的表面磨光實例為溝槽、滾紋等。
繼續參閱第7B圖 ，保護元件71 具有平滑表面，該平滑表面對於轟擊在表面上的雷射能量而言具有相對高的反射度。保護元件71 係使雷射能量到達待處理之光纖，但抑制雷射能量而不破壞未受處理之光纖、結構的其他部分或避免產生安全性問題，但保護元件71 也可依所使用之材料而吸收及/或分散一部分的能量。此雷射處理方法也使用非必要之雷射吸收元件77 來納涵反射的雷射能量。如第7B圖 所示，保護元件71 係置於靠近光纖48 的端部，且吸收元件77 係配置在光纖48 的第一列73 上方，以抑制來自保護元件71 之任何反射雷射能量的行進。
返參第7A圖 ，光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 可配置以經由透鏡(例如配置在光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 中之模造、GRIN透鏡或其他合適透鏡)而對配置通過光纖插頭套管60(1)-60(4) 的光纖48(1)-48(4) 提供光學傳輸。當使 用模造透鏡時，光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 係較佳為由光傳輸材料所製成，以於光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 內部提供盲孔，光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 具有延伸至光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 第二端部69(1)-69(4) 之透鏡。
第8圖 為第5圖 與第6B圖 之刀鋒光纖插槽46 的透視分解圖。參閱第5圖 、第6B圖 與第8圖 ，在此實施方式中，刀鋒光纖插槽46 係由4個刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 所組成。各刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 係支撐64個光纖72(1)-72(4) 。如下文將進一步詳細說明，刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 係配置以支撐多個光纖纜線74(1)-74(4) ，以於刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 中提供高光纖支數。在此實施方式中，光纖纜線74(1)-74(4) 係各由複數個成束的光纖纜線所組成。提供刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) (用以承接成束的光纖纜線)是一種可使刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 支撐高密度光纖支數的方法，因為成束的光纖纜線係平坦的且在光纖支數對空間上是有效率的。另外，在此實施方式中，各光纖纜線74(1)-74(4) 係由複數個成束的纜線組成，該複數個成束的纜線係可彈性提供對資訊處理模組24 上不同構件及/或不同區域之光纖連接。
繼續參閱第6B圖 與第8圖 ，各底板光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 係設置於刀鋒連接器框體76 中，以於設置在資訊處理模組24 上時使刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 群組在一起。刀鋒連接器框體76 係由塑膠構件組成，該塑膠構件係經模造或衝壓而成(僅作為實例)。刀鋒連接器框 體76 係含有開口78，開口78係配置以承接刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 。刀鋒連接器框體76 也包含適當的固定特徵結構，例如自刀鋒連接器框體76 的端部82(1) 、82(2) 延伸以使刀鋒連接器框體76 固定至資訊處理模組24 (見第3圖 )之表面的兩個垂片80(1) 、80(2) 。各固定垂片80(1) 、80(2) 含有開口84(1) 、84(2) ，開口84(1) 、84(2) 係配置以承接固鎖件，以使具有刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 之刀鋒連接器框體76 固鎖至資訊處理模組24 (見第3圖 )以供光學連接。在資訊處理模組24 與刀鋒連接器框體76 之間係設置有墊圈或間隔件85(1) 、85(2) 。間隔件85(1) 、85(2) 為彈性元件，該等彈性元件係用於使刀鋒光纖插槽46 與底板光纖插頭44 彈性耦接。由於間隔件85(1) 、85(2) 是彈性元件，當底板光纖插頭44 開始與刀鋒光纖插槽46 匹配時，間隔件85(1) 、85(2) 係使刀鋒光纖插槽46 具可撓性且可稍微移動，以使底板光纖插頭44 與刀鋒光纖插槽44可在底板光纖插頭44 與刀鋒光纖插槽44未完美對準時適當匹配。
第8圖 也更詳細說明了刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 。各刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 係由光纖連接器外殼與光纖套管所組成，該光纖連接器外殼具有光纖插槽本體86(1)-86(4) 之形式，而該光纖套管具有光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 之形式。光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 係配置為設置通過光纖插槽本體86(1)-86(4) 的第一端部90(1)-90(4) ，且設置在光纖插槽本體86(1)-86(4) 的內部 腔體92(1)-92(4) 中。光纖72(1)-72(4) 是暴露的且由光纖纜線74(1)-74(4) 的護套94(1)-94(4) 所製成，光纖72(1)-72(4) 係與設置在光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 的端面98(1)-98(4) 中的纖材開口96(1)-96(4) 對準。當底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 插置在光纖插槽本體86(1)-86(4) 的內部腔體92(1)-92(4) 中時，即對設置在光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 中的光纖72(1)-72(4) 產生光學連接。光纖插槽本體86(1)-86(4) 係使光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) (第7A圖 )及光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 的透鏡70(1)-70(4) 對準於光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 的端面98(1)-98(4) 中的纖材開口96(1)-96(4) 。
繼續參閱第8圖 ，光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 係可配置以經由透鏡(例如配置在光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 中之模造透鏡、GRIN透鏡等)而對配置於其中之光纖72(1)-72(4) 提供光學傳輸。舉例而言，光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 係於內孔中支撐GRIN透鏡。就此點而言，第9A圖 為第5圖 、第6B圖 與第8圖 之刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 的四分之一透視截圖，其中光纖連接器本體86(1)-86(4) 係配置以支撐GRIN透鏡。
為了組裝刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) ，刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 係設置通過刀鋒連接器框體76 。光纖插槽套管88(1)-88(4) 係設置通過後方刀鋒連接器框體97 。刀鋒連接器框體76 與後方刀鋒連接器框體97 係藉由閂鎖101 而彼此固鎖，閂鎖101 係含有突出部103 以與刀鋒連接 器框體76 的開口105 接合。設有彈簧107(1)-107(4) 、109(1)-109(4) 以對刀鋒連接器框體76 及後方刀鋒連接器框體97 提供刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 之彈性負載，以在需要時動作以連接至底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 。
如第9A圖 所示，光纖插槽本體86(1) 的光纖插槽次載體99(1) 係配置以承接光纖插槽套管88(1) 。在此實施方式中，光纖插槽次載體99(1) 是由與GRIN透鏡開口95(1) 對準之GRIN透鏡內部腔體100(1) 所組成。GRIN透鏡內部腔體100(1) 係配置以支撐GRIN透鏡，GRIN透鏡的端部部分係通過GRIN透鏡開口95(1) 而配置在端面98(1) 處。光纖插槽次載體99(1) 也含有內部纖材腔體102(1) 以支撐光纖72(1) 並使光纖72(1) 與GRIN透鏡內部腔體100(1) 對準，以對準光纖72(1) 與GRIN透鏡。內部纖材腔體102(1) 係由經塗佈之纖材腔體102A(1) 與裸露纖材腔體102B(1) 所組成，以固定地支撐光纖72(1) 的塗佈部分72A(1) 與裸露部分72B(1) ，以避免光纖72(1) 在光纖插槽次載體99(1) 中移動。注意，雖然第9A圖 僅針對光纖插槽次載體99(1) 與光纖插槽套管88(1) 加以說明，然第9A圖 的說明也可相同應用至其他光纖插槽套管88(2)-88(4) 與光纖插槽套管88(2)-88(4) 的光纖插槽次載體99(2)-99(4) 。
或者是，光纖插槽本體86(1)-86(4) 可由光傳輸材料製成，於盲孔端部處具有模造透鏡以承接光纖而於介面處進行光傳輸。就此點而言，第9B圖 係光纖插槽本體86(1) 的透視截面圖，該光纖插槽本體86(1) 係提供盲孔透鏡支架，該盲孔透鏡支架係可應用於第5圖 、第6B圖 與第8圖 之刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 中。
如第9B圖 所示，在此實施方式中，並未使用光纖插槽次載體。在此實施方式中的光纖插槽本體86(1) 係由盲孔透鏡104(1) 所組成；盲孔透鏡104(1) 係配置在光纖插槽本體86(1) 中。光纖插槽本體86(1) 是由形成盲孔106(1) 之光傳輸材料所組成，盲孔106(1) 使來自光纖72(1) 的光可傳輸通過光傳輸材料及通過盲孔透鏡104(1) 。光纖插槽本體86(1) 是由內部纖材腔體102(1) 所組成，類似於第9A圖 ，以支撐光纖72(1) 並對準光纖72(1) 與盲孔透鏡104(1) 。內部纖材腔體102(1) 係由經塗佈之纖材腔體102A(1) 與裸露纖材腔體102B(1) 所組成，以固定地支撐光纖72(1) 的塗佈部分72A(1) 與裸露部分72B(1) ，以避免光纖72(1) 在光纖插槽本體86(1) 中移動。注意，雖然第9B圖 僅針對光纖插槽本體86(1) 加以說明，然第9B圖 的特徵結構也可相同應用至其他光纖插槽本體86(2)-86(4) 。
如下文中針對第10A圖 至第15B圖 而進一步說明者，透鏡70(1)-70(4) 係可被光閥遮蔽(shuttered)。光閥遮蔽可使光纖48(1)-48(4) 在底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 未匹配時不會透過透鏡70(1)-70(4) 而暴露，以避免殘光進入光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) ，並在底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 未匹配時避免影響光傳輸。當底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 匹 配時，光閥(shutter)係透過透鏡70(1)-70(4) 而使光學傳輸路徑暴露於光纖48(1)-48(4) 。
進入光纖插頭本體58(1)-58(4) 及通過GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) 之殘光(視情況而定)係可使光學傳輸衰減。如下文將針對第10A圖 至第15B圖 進一步詳細說明，GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)係可被光閥遮蔽。在未匹配時，稠密光纖連接之光閥遮蔽係可於底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 與刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 中提供，以避免殘光進入及避免影響光學傳輸。當底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 與刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 匹配時，光閥係可設計為被致動，以暴露出光學傳輸路徑。
第10A圖 與第10B圖 為光閥遮蔽之刀鋒光纖插槽46’(1)-46’(4) 的右側透視圖，刀鋒光纖插槽46’(1)-46’(4) 可作為第5圖 、第6B圖 與第8圖 之刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 使用，其中可滑動之光閥108(1)-108(4) 係分別置於開啟與關閉位置。第11A圖 與第11B圖 為可作為第5圖 、第6B圖 與第8圖 之刀鋒光纖插槽46(1)-46(4) 使用之示例性光閥遮蔽之光纖插槽46’ 的後視透視圖，其中可滑動之光閥108 係分別置於關閉與開啟位置。第12A圖 與第12B圖 分別為第11A圖 與第11B圖 之光閥遮蔽之光纖插槽外殼86’ 的側截面圖，該圖說明了可滑動之光閥108 係分別置於關閉與開啟位置。
參閱第10A圖 至第12B圖 ，光閥遮蔽之光纖插槽本體86’ 係稠密光纖插槽外殼。可滑動之光閥108 係配置在光纖插槽本體86’ 的GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)的光學傳輸路徑中。可滑動之光閥108 具有開口110 ，開口110 係配置以於開放位置中之光纖插槽本體86’ 中與GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)對準，如第11B圖 所示。在關閉未置中，可滑動之光閥108 的開口110 也配置以阻擋對設置在GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)中的透鏡之接入，如第11A圖 所示。如第11A圖 與第11B圖 所示，致動件112 係耦接至該可滑動之光閥108 。致動件112 係配置以使可滑動之光閥108 從第11A圖 之關閉位置移動到第11B圖 之開啟位置。致動件112 係線性動作致動件，係配置為可被線性移動，以線性移動該可滑動之光閥108 。舉例而言，可滑動之光閥係可於大致與光纖連接器之光軸垂直的一個平面中移動。
在此實施方式中，因為光纖插槽套管88’ 支撐高密度光纖支數，因此可提供低致動距離。可滑動之光閥108 係可配置以移動至少是GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)的內徑之距離，以達到封塵及/或視覺安全性。可滑動之光閥108 是平面的、薄的且幾乎是不需要致動距離，可滑動之光閥108 可由致動件112以線性方式不旋轉加以致動，如下文將進一步詳細說明者。可滑動之光閥108係可於準直之光束路徑 中使用。
舉例而言，如第12A圖 所示，當致動件112 並未被如第12B圖 中所示般下壓時，可滑動之光閥108 並不位於開啟位置。在關閉位置下，在可滑動光軸108 中與開口110 相鄰的固體區段114 係與GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)對準，並因而阻擋第12A圖 中之光線傳輸。在第12B圖 中，在開啟位置下，可滑動光閥108 的固體區段114 係偏離GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)，而開口110 係與GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)對準，因此光線傳輸係不受阻擋。
第13A圖 與第13B圖 為示例性光閥遮蔽之底板光纖插頭44’ ，光纖插頭44’ 可應用作為第5圖 、第6A圖 、第7圖 之底板光纖插頭44 ，其中可滑動光閥116 係分別位於關閉與開啟位置。第13C圖 為第13B圖 之放大圖，該圖說明了在開啟位置中之可滑動光閥。可滑動光閥116 為置於光纖插頭套管60’ (見第7A圖 )中之透鏡70 的光學路徑。第14圖 為第13A圖 中所示之光閥遮蔽光纖插頭44’ 的底部透視圖。光閥遮蔽之底板光纖插頭44’ 係稠密底板光纖插頭。可滑動光閥116 具有開口118 ，開口118 係配置以於開啟位置下對準於光纖插頭套管60 中的透鏡70 ，如第13B圖 與第13C圖 所示。在此實施方式中之可滑動光閥116 係於面板117 後方受到保護，該面板117 係配置有形狀與開口118 相同之開口119 ，但面板117 並非為必須。可滑動光閥116 的開口118 也配置以於關閉位置下阻擋對透鏡70 之通行，如第13A圖 所示。如第13A圖 至第13C圖 所示，致動件120 係耦接於該可滑動光閥116 。致動件120 係配置以使可滑動光閥116 從第13A圖 之關閉位置移動至第13B圖 與第13C圖 所示之開啟位置。
舉例而言，如第13A圖 所示，當致動件120 並未被如第13B圖 與第13C圖 中所示般下壓時，可滑動光閥116 並不位於開啟位置中。在關閉位置下，在可滑動光116 中與開口118 相鄰的固體區段122 係與透鏡70 對準，因而阻擋第13A圖 與第14圖 中之光線傳輸。在第13B圖 與第13C圖 中，在開啟位置下，可滑動光閥116 的固體區段122 係偏離GRIN透鏡開口95(1)-95(4) 或盲孔透鏡104(1)-104(4) (視情況而定)，而開口118 係與透鏡70 對準，因此光線傳輸係不受阻擋。
第15A圖 為第11A圖 與第11B圖 中光閥遮蔽之光纖插槽本體86’ 的側部透視圖，其中致動件112 、120 並未被致動，以使可滑動光閥108 、116 在光閥遮蔽之光纖插槽本體86’ 承接第13A圖 至第14圖 所示之光纖插頭本體58’ 之前係處於關閉位置中。第15B圖 為第11A圖 與第11B圖 中光閥遮蔽之光纖插槽本體86’ 的側部透視圖，其中致動件112 、120 係被致動以於在光閥遮蔽之光纖插槽本體86’ 承接且匹配於第13A圖 至第14圖 所示之光纖插頭本 體58’ 時使可滑動光閥108 、116 位於開啟位置。
繼續參閱第15A圖 與第15B圖 ，光纖插頭本體58’ 含有匹配致動件124 。匹配致動件124 是由支撐致動臂128 之固定座126 所組成。致動臂128 係配置以於光纖插槽本體86’ 承接光纖插頭本體58’ 時接合光纖插槽致動件112 。致動臂128 含有突出部130 ，突出部130 係配置在致動臂128之末梢端部132 上。當光纖插頭本體58’ 承接於刀鋒光纖插槽46’ 中時，致動臂128 的端部部分134 係位於接合孔136 中，其中突出部130 將於接合孔136 中產生舉升力，以於刀鋒光纖插槽46’ 中使可滑動光閥108 從關閉位置移動至開啟位置。當底板光纖插頭44’ 貫穿刀鋒光纖插槽46’ 時，致動件120 係被修正(indexed)以使底板光纖插頭44’ 中的可滑動光閥116 開啟至開啟位置。
適於為設備機架中之光學底板建立光學連接之稠密光纖連接器組件與相關連接器及光纖纜線的其他實施方式亦屬可行且被揭示於本文中。就此點而言，第16A圖 說明了機架模組外殼26 ，其中係置有資訊處理模組24 。第16B圖 為除去機架模組外殼26 之資訊處理模組24 的透視圖。如第16B圖 所示，該圖說明及提供了另一示例性之稠密光纖連接器組件131 以經由先前於第2A圖 至第3圖 所示之光學底板延伸模組28 來增進對資訊處理模組24 之直接光學連接。作為一非限制實例，第16B圖 中之稠密光纖連接器組件131 係可支撐64條、128條或256 條或更多之光纖，以分別提供64、128或256或更多之光纖連接。
第17A圖 為第16B圖 中稠密光纖連接器組件131 之側部透視圖，稠密光纖連接器組件131 包含刀鋒光纖插槽133 以承接底板光纖插頭135 。第17B圖 為第16B圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件133 的側部透視圖，其中刀鋒光纖插槽133 係承接底板光纖插頭135 以於前述第2A圖 至第3圖 中所示之資訊處理模組24 與光學底板延伸模組28 之間建立光學連接。
繼續參閱第16B圖 至第17B圖 ，光纖連接器組件131 係由配置通過延伸模組外殼35 (見第3圖 )的後側部38 之一或多個底板光纖插頭135 所組成。如第17A圖 所示，底板光纖插頭135 係配置以承接複數條光纖纜線138 或光纖。在此實施方式中，光纖纜線138 為成束纜線，光纖纜線138 係以寬軸W1 而沿著底板光纖插頭135 的短軸S1 堆疊於彼此頂部上。此一配置係使底板光纖插頭135 可支撐高纖材支數，因而提供稠密底板光纖插頭135 。
繼續參閱第16B圖 至第17B圖 ，光纖連接器組件131 也包含一或多個刀鋒光纖插槽133 ，刀鋒光纖插槽133 係固定於資訊處理模組24 上。刀鋒光纖插槽133 係連接至資訊處理模組24 中之構件，以增進自該等構件傳輸資料。如第17A圖 所示，刀鋒光纖插槽133 係配置以承接複數條光纖纜線143 或成束之光纖。在此實施方式中，光纖纜線143 係成束纜線，光纖纜線143 係以寬軸W2 而沿著刀鋒光纖插槽133 的短軸S2 堆疊於彼此的頂部上。此一配置係使刀鋒光纖插槽133 可支撐高纖材支數，因而提供稠密刀鋒光纖插槽133 。
當底板光纖插頭135 匹配至刀鋒光纖插槽133 時，即對資訊處理模組24 建立光學連接。該等光學連接可經由連接至底板光纖插頭135 (見第3圖 )之光纖纜線32 、透過光學底板延伸模組28 中之內部連接及/或通過光學互連埠40 (見第3圖 )之互連，而被佈設至其他資訊處理模組24 。刀鋒光纖插槽133 包含固定結構139 ，固定結構139 為彈性負載，以於固定在資訊處理模組24 上時使刀鋒光纖插槽133 移動，進而輔助對底板光纖插頭135 之軸對準與連接。
另一示例性之稠密光纖連接器組件131’ 係說明於第18A圖 至第19B圖 中。第18A圖 為稠密光纖連接器組件131’ 之刀鋒光纖插槽133’ 與底板光纖插頭135’ 的側部透視分解圖；第18B圖 為第18A圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件131’ 的刀鋒光纖插槽133’ 與底板光纖插頭135’ 的另一放大透視分解圖。第19圖 為第18A圖 與第18B圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件131’ 的刀鋒光纖插槽133’ 與底板光纖插頭135’ 的另一放大圖。第18A圖 至第19圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件131’ 係類似於第16B圖 至第17B圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件131 。然而，如下文將進一步詳細說明，第18A圖 至第19圖 之稠密光纖連接器組件131’ 係包含整線器套管，該整線器套管可使更寬、更高纖材支數的 成束光纖纜線沿該等光纖纜線寬度方向而堆疊及匯整，以被支撐於用以支撐稠密纖材支數之刀鋒光纖插槽133’ 與底板光纖插頭135’ 中。
參照第18A圖 與第18B圖 ，底板光纖插頭135’ 係以單一連接器成形因子來支撐達256條或更多之光纖137 。如下文將進一步詳細說明者，底板光纖插頭135’ 係配置以支撐多個堆疊光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 或光纖，以於底板光纖插頭135’ 中提供高光纖支數。在此一實施方式中，光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 係各由複數個成束光纖纜線所組成。如第18A圖 所示，光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 係沿該等光纖纜線寬軸W3 而堆疊。提供用以承接成束光纖之底板光纖插頭135’ 是可使底板光纖插頭135’ 支撐高密度光纖支數的方法之一，因為成束光纖纜線是平坦的且就光纖支數對空間之關係而言是有效率的。此外，在此實施方式中，光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 係各由複數個成束纜線所組成，該複數個成束纜線係可彈性提供內部連接以及由光學底板延伸模組28 (見第3圖 )所增進之互連。各光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 係依設計而不是必須要與相同的光纖連接器內部連接或互連。
繼續參閱第18A圖 與第18B圖 ，底板光纖插頭135’ 係由光纖插頭本體140 所組成。光纖插頭本體140 係套管本體。光纖插頭本體140 係配置以承接整線器套管142 ，整線器套管142 係承接光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 於整線器套管142 中的開口144 中。整線器套管142 係特別 適合用於提升成束性及確保光纖以陣列結構接合連接器本體154 。在此方式中，整線器套管142 係使光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 的端部部分146(1)-146(4) 可設置為壓實之高密度，以置於光纖插頭本體140 之開口148 中。整線器套管142 也可增進對於從光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 暴露出之集體光纖之預插置雷射處理以進行雷射處理，包含、但不限於利用上述雷射處理實例。在此實施方式中，光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 係沿著套管整線器142 的寬軸W4 而置於整線器套管142 中。可設置黏著劑以於組裝期間將整線器套管142 固定於光纖插頭本體140 中。光纖插頭本體140 與整線器套管142 係由塑膠構件組成，在實例中，塑膠構件係經模造或壓鑄而形成。如第18B圖 與第19圖 所示，光纖插頭本體140 具有端面149 ，該端面149具有設置於其中之複數個透鏡151 ，以提供光學傳輸路徑至自光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 暴露之光纖147(1)-147(4) 的端部部分146(1)-146(4) 。
繼續參閱第18A圖 至第19圖 ，光纖插頭本體140 也含有兩個垂片150(1) 、150(2) ，垂片150(1) 、150(2) 係自光纖插頭本體140 延伸以使底板光纖插頭135’ 固定至延伸模組外殼35 (見第3圖 )之後側部38。各固定垂片150(1) 、150(2) 含有開口152(1) 、152(2) (第18B圖 )，開口152(1) 、152(2) 係配置以承接固鎖件以將具有底板光纖插頭44(1)-44(4) 之底板連接器框體50 固定至延伸模組外殼35 (見第3圖 )，以形成光學底板而供連接至刀鋒光纖插 槽46(1)-46(4) 。
第18A圖 與第18B圖 說明關於刀鋒光纖插槽133’ 的構件之細節。刀鋒光纖插槽133’ 係包含光纖插槽本體154 與整線器套管156 。光纖插槽本體154 係配置以承接整線器套管156 ，整線器套管156 接著於整線器套管156 的開口160 中自資訊處理模組24 承接光纖纜線158(1)-158(4)。在此方式中，整線器套管156 係使光纖纜線158(1)-158(4) 的端部部分162(1)-164(4) 可設置為壓實之高密度，以成形而置於光纖插頭本體154 之開口164 (第18B圖 )中。如第18A圖 所示，在此實施方式中，光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 的寬軸W5 係沿著套管整線器142 的寬軸W6 而設置。可設有黏著劑，以於組裝期間將整線器套管156 固定於光纖插槽本體154 中。在第19圖 所示之光纖插槽本體154 中係可設置軟質彈性體165 ，以允許整線器套管156 在連接方向軸中之小移動。光纖插槽本體154 與整線器套管156 係由塑膠構件組成，在實例中，塑膠構件係經模造或壓鑄成形。
如第18B圖 所示，光纖插槽本體154 具有端面167 ，端面167 係置於透鏡群168 中，該透鏡群168具有置於其中的複數個透鏡170 ，以提供光學傳輸路徑至從光纖纜線158(1)-158(4) 暴露出之光纖166(1)-166(4) (第18A圖 )的端部部分162(1)-162(4) 。如第19圖 所示，透鏡群168 也具有複數個透鏡172 ，複數個透鏡172 係配置在光纖插頭本體140 的端面173 上、光纖插槽本體154 的側 部，該等透鏡172係配置以與光纖纜線138(1)-138(4) 的端部部分146(1)-146(4) 對準。在此方式中，透鏡群168 係配置以於透鏡170 、172 之間提供傳輸路徑，以使置於底板光纖插頭135’ 中的光纖147(1)-147(4) 的端部部分146(1)-146(4) 光學連接至置於刀鋒光纖插槽133’ 中的光纖166(1)-166(4) 的端部部分162(1)-162(4) 。
為提供本文之稠密光纖連接器，稠密光纖連接器係經模造而成。就此點而言，第20A圖 與第20B圖 分別為可用於稠密光纖連接器組件之示例性模造光纖插頭本體180 的前視圖與後視圖。第21A圖 與第21B圖 係分別為第20A圖 與第20B圖 之模造光纖插頭本體180 的前視圖與後視圖。模造之光纖插頭本體180 係作為刀鋒光纖連接器或底板光纖連接器之用。
如第20A圖 與第21A圖 所示，模造之光纖插頭本體180 係具有端面182 ，端面182 包含配置在第一端部186 處之纖材開口184 ，以對置於模造光纖插頭本體180 中之光纖的端部部分提供光學傳輸路徑。纖材開口184 係由形成於模造光纖插頭本體180 的端面182 中之彎曲部所形成，其中模造之光纖插頭本體180 係由傳輸材料形成，光纖插頭本體180 具有嵌入模內(molded-in)之透鏡，如先前所述者。或者是，纖材開口184 係承接置於模造光纖插頭本體180 中之GRIN透鏡與配置通過開口之GRIN透鏡的端部部分，如先前所述者。舉例而言，在此實施方式中，為達模造可靠性，係由模具提供在模造光 纖插頭本體180 中的纖材開口之頂列181 與底列183 ，使得另一強性材料(如不鏽鋼)可被插置於其中。
如第20B圖 與第21B圖 所示，形成開口188 之內部腔體187 係模造於第二端部190 上之光纖插頭本體180 中。開口188 係配置以承接如第23A圖 至第23C圖 中所示以及下述之整線器套管192 。纖材導入結構194 係置於內部腔體187 的後部196 中，以承接配置通過整線器套管192 的光纖之端部部分。第22A圖 為纖材導入結構194 的後視透視圖的放大圖，纖材導入結構194 係模造光纖插頭本體180 的細部。如本文所述及如第22B圖 所示，纖材導入結構194 係被形成為用於形成內部腔體187 之模具的部分。纖材導入結構194 係含有列結構198 ，在列結構198 之間設有中間纖材導入區200 。垂直構件202 係設置在列結構198 之間且分隔寬度W，以形成開口204 來承接光纖的端部部分。列結構198 與垂直構件202 的數量以及垂直構件202 之間的寬度W決定了模造之光纖插頭本體180 所能支撐之光纖的數量。在一實例中，中間纖材導入區域200 的外徑為50微米(μm)或更大，以支撐模造之光纖插頭本體180 中的光纖之高密度。MT科技或線切割(wire EDM)係可用以形成中間纖材導入區200 。使用線切割來形成模造之光纖插頭本體180 係可提供纖材導入結構194 。舉例而言，對於目標為100 微米之纖材塗層而言，在方形的中間纖材導入區域200 的任一側部上係可提供一個10-15微米之「窗部」來集 中纖材。
第23A圖 為模造之中間整線器套管192 的前視透視圖，中間整線器套管192 係配置以增進光纖成束性且係置於第20A圖 與第20B圖 所示之模造光纖插頭本體180 中，以形成第24A圖 之稠密光纖插頭206 。第23B圖 為第23A圖 之整線器套管192 的後視透視圖。第23C圖 為承接光纖210 之端部部分208 的整線器套管192 。如第23A圖 所示，模造之整線器套管192 具有端面212 ，端面212 包含配置在第一端部216 處之開口214 ，以承接配置在整線器套管192 中的光纖210 的端部部分208 ，如第23C圖 至第24B圖 中所示。注意在整線器套管192 中包含角區肋部213 ，以提供高集中精確性，同時允許通風，無論是使用束材、寬鬆管件或是小型成束纖材之組合。
如第23B圖 所示，形成開口218 之內部腔體217 係模造於第二端部220 上之整線器套管192 中。開口218 係配置以承接光纖210 的端部部分208 ，如第23C圖 至第24B圖 所示及如下文所述。纖材導入結構222 係設置在內部腔體217 的後部224 ，以承接設置通過整線器套管192 之光纖210 的端部部分208 。第24B圖 為整線器套管192 的第一端部216 之纖材導入結構222 的後視透視圖，該纖材導入結構192 係與模造之光纖插頭本體180 的纖材導入結構194 相接。如本文以及如第23B圖 所示，纖材導入結構222 係形成為用於形成內部腔體217 之模具的部分。纖材導入結構222 係含有複數個貫孔226 ，複 數個貫孔226 係設置在模造整線器套管192 的後部224 中形成端面212 之開口214 ，如第24B圖 所示。貫孔226 的數量決定整線器套管192 能支撐的光纖數量。
第25A圖 為突出之纖材引導模造元件230 的透視圖，纖材引導模造元件230 可用以各別模造第21A圖 至第22B圖 中之光纖插頭本體180 中之內部腔體187 、217 與纖材導入結構194 、222 以及第23A圖 至第23C圖 中之整線器套管192 。第25B圖 為第25A圖 之突出纖材引導模造元件230 的纖材導入模造尖端232 的透視放大圖。突出之纖材引導模造元件230 係可由適當不鏽鋼材建構而成。如第25A圖 與第25B圖 所示，突出之纖材引導模造元件230 的纖材導入模造尖端232 係形成纖材導入結構194 、222 的反部(negative)。纖材導入模造尖端232 支配了所支撐之光纖的數量。如第25A圖 與第25B圖 所示，有多達256個或更多的纖材導入模造尖端232 來支撐多達256條或更多的光纖。
如第25B圖 所示，中間構件238 係呈方形以於使用突出之纖材引導模造元件230 進行模造時形成方形通道。相對於圓形通道，方形通道可提供更強的模造元件。方形通道也可更輕易地插置光纖，以降低光纖上的摩擦並提供額外空間來支撐環氧樹脂而對插置於其中之光纖產生較小剪力。纖材導入模造尖端232 的端部部分234 也是方形。
纖材導入模造尖端232 之主要陣列的設計的一個目的 是在於使纖材導入模造尖端232 可被帶抵或鄰近平面模造表面。此方式可藉由消除了對於母側(供纖材導入模造尖端232插置)之需要而簡化突出之纖材引導模造元件230 。在一個實施方式中，纖材導入模造尖端232 之陣列係可被帶至與平坦表面接觸，並藉由刷洗或研磨操作而於端部部分234 處開放方形構件。作為實例，突出之纖材引導模造元件230 的纖材導入模造尖端232 係可鄰近於模具中之平坦表面。可提供二次操作來開放由纖材導入模造尖端232 所形成之內部腔體187 、217 。在模具(其中突出之纖材引導模造元件230 係被帶抵平坦模具表面)中所使用之突出纖材引導模造元件230 係使得纖材導入模造尖端232 被密封。
繼續參閱第25B圖 ，尖端232 的側部長度或寬度為S L (例如100微米)。尖端232 的端部部分234 係形成於尖端232 的端部區段236 之長度L 的端部處。端部區段236 係經設計以提供裸露光纖之導入部，且端部區段236 係具適當尺寸。中間構件238 係經設計以提供塗佈光纖之導入部，且因而中間構件238 之尺寸係大於端部區段236 。在一個實施方式中，尖端232 的端部區段236 之長度L 約為尖端232 的端部部分234 之側部長度S L 的一至三倍。當光纖被置於由纖材導入模造尖端232 所形成之導入部時，此大小係用以為光纖提供傾斜導入部。當尖端232 的端部部分236 之長度L 對尖端232 的端部部分234 之側部長度S L 的比例小於1時，即無法完成角度誤 差之抑制，因而產生光學衰減。
本文也揭示了一種光纖連接器組件的模造方法，包含的步驟為：提供模具本體，具有複數個纖材導入部模造尖端，該等尖端係配置為配置在該模具本體中之列與行，其中該複數個纖材導入部模造尖端係各包含方形構件，該方形構件具有與該模具本體相鄰之第一端部以及第二端部，該方形構件係配置以為光纖的端部部分提供模造纖材導入部；以及射出材料至模具中以形成光纖連接器構件。
現將說明如第2A圖 至第3圖 中所示之光學底板延伸模組28 的進一步細節。就此點而言，第26圖 與第27圖 分別為光學底板延伸模組28 的前視與後視透視圖。光學底板延伸模組28 包含由延伸模組外殼35 限定之內部空間34 以維持及佈設光纖纜線32 (見第3圖 )。光學底板延伸模組28 係支撐裝設於光纖纜線32 之複數個底板光纖連接器36 ，底板光纖連接器36 在此實施方式中為上述之底板光纖插頭44。
如第26圖 至第28圖 所示，光學底板延伸模組28 係支撐了使光纖連接器36 配置通過延伸模組外殼35 的後側部38 ，以形成光學底板240 。光纖連接器36 係沿著縱軸A 1 而設置通過延伸模組外殼35 的後側部38 。光學底板240 係用以使底板光纖連接器36 可直接光學連接至配置在資訊處理模組24 中之刀鋒光纖連接器。底板光纖連接器36 係含有不同類型的光纖連接器，不同類型的光纖連 接器支撐不同數量的光纖。舉例而言，如第26圖 與第27圖 所示，底板光纖連接器36A 係配置以連接至刀鋒切換光纖連接器。作為實例，切換光纖連接器可為單相連接器，該單相連接器具有足夠的纖材支數以支撐對於其他底板光纖連接器36B 之連接，其中該纖材支數為其他底板光纖連接器36B 的數量的數倍。底板光纖連接器36B 係配置以連接至伺服器或資料儲存資訊處理模組24 。
繼續參閱第26圖 ，延伸模組外殼35 係由基部242 在基部242 左端部245 之左側部244 以及在基部242 之右端部247 上之右側部246 而限定內部空間34 。後側部38 係配置在基部242 的後端部248 上。頂部側部250 係置於基部242 的頂部端部252 上。基部242 、左側部244 、右側部246 、後側部38 與頂部側部250 形成了延伸模組外殼35 。門254 係鉸接於基部242 ，使得內部空間34 可關閉與開啟以供出入。
光學互連埠40 係進一步詳細說明於第28圖 與第29圖 。光學互連埠40 係設置通過延伸模組外殼35 ，以於形成光學底板240 之底板光纖連接器36 以及位於延伸模組外殼35 外部之底板光纖連接器36 之間產生光纖互連。舉例而言，可能需要能使一或多個底板光纖連接器36 光學連接至未光學連接於底板延伸模組28 的其他資訊處理模組24 及/或位於設備機架的其他區域中之其他底板延伸模組28 。否則，在需要光纖互連時，門254 無法在底板延伸模組28 上完全關閉。就此點而言，光纖轉 接器256 係可設置在光學互連埠40 中，以允許底板延伸模組28 中之光纖互連。可設置殘光光閥258 作為光纖轉接器256 的部件，以於未使用時避免殘光進入光纖轉接器256 。第28圖 說明了殘光光閥258 為關閉的狀態，而第29圖 則說明了殘光光閥258 為開啟之狀態。
其他形式的底板延伸模組也是可行的。舉例而言，第30A圖 與第30B圖 分別為裝設至機架模組外殼26 之另一底板延伸模組28’ 的後視與前視透視圖。機架模組外殼26 係支撐前述之資訊處理模組24 。在此實施方式中，底板延伸模組28’ 包含延伸模組外殼35’ ，延伸模組外殼35’ 為非矩形且在光學底板上不具相同高度。延伸模組外殼35’ 係配置為不同的最小高度H 1 與最大高度H 2 ，以增進空氣從資訊處理模組24 流至機架模組外殼26 中。此是因為設置在延伸模組外殼35’ 中的光纖連接器並不是相同高度，如下述第31A圖 與第31B圖 所述。因此，延伸模組外殼35’ 的高度係可加以修整，以避免無意地減少了空氣流動。
第31A圖 與第31B圖 分別為第30A圖 與第30B圖 之光學底板延伸模組28’ 的前視與後視透視圖。如第31B圖 所示，數個底板光纖連接器36’ 係設置通過延伸模組外殼35’ 的後側部38’ ，以提供一個與上述關於光學底板延伸模組28 者類似的光學底板41 。如圖所示，某些底板光纖連接器36’ 在高度上係小於其他底板光纖連接器36B’ 。因此，延伸模組外殼35’ 的高度係設為非平面高 度，以避免延伸模組外殼35’ 的高度大於為支撐底板光纖連接器36A’ 與底板光纖連接器36B’ (形成光學底板41 )而所需者。當安裝延伸模組外殼35’ 以減少阻擋空氣流動時，此將減少鄰接於機架模組外殼26 之後側部38’ 之表面。同時，在此實施例中，底板光纖連接器36A’ 與36B’ 係為冗餘光纖連接而設置成對。
在將光學底板延伸模組28’ 安裝至機架模組外殼26 時，重要的是要使光學底板41 與設置在資訊處理模組24 上之光纖連接器對準以產生適當連接。在堆疊之機架模組外殼26 間會產生任何對準誤差。就此點而言，第32A圖 為對準構件260 的放大圖，該對準構件260 係設置在光學底板延伸模組28’ 的後側部38’ 中，以使光學底板延伸模組28’ 與設置在機架模組外殼26 中的資訊處理模組24 對準。第32B圖 為設置在光學底板延伸模組28’ 中對準構件260 之間的底板光纖連接器36 的放大透視圖。對準構件260 係置於延伸模組外殼35’ 的後側部38’ 的外側上。
參照第32A圖 與第32B圖 ，對齊構件260 係配置以接合於設置在機架模組外殼26 中之互補對齊構件，以使複數個底板光纖連接器36 與複數個刀鋒光纖連接器對齊。提供對齊構件260 的目的是在於為光學資訊處理模組24 提供一種更精確的機架模組外殼26 ，機架模組外殼26 係可使用簡化之光纖連接器。
繼續參閱第32A圖 與第32B圖 ，在此實施方式中，對 齊構件260 係由設置在延伸模組外殼35’ 的後側部38’ 中之非平面表面262 所形成。非平面表面262 係含有複數個突出部264 ，突出部264 形成複數個溝槽266 ，各溝槽266 係形成於該複數個突出部264 之相鄰突出部264 之間。因為底板光纖連接器36’ 是以固定、已知位置配置通過延伸模組外殼35’ 的後側部38’ 中，所以底板光纖連接器36 係位於相對於對準構件260 之已知固定位置中。當對準構件260 與互補溝槽及機架模組外殼26 中的對準構件260 匹配時，即對延伸模組外殼35’ 產生對準性，此將有助於底板光纖連接器36’ 與刀鋒光纖連接器間之適當連接。對準構件260 係可同時置於第2A圖 至第3圖 之光學底板延伸模組28 中。
也需要提供基部構件267 ，其中對準構件260 係設置在基部構件267 中以向外延伸超過底板延伸外殼35’ 的後側部38’ 而延伸至機架模組外殼26 中。在此方式中，資訊處理模組24 可設置在具有基部構件267 之底部端部上，透過定位裝置而對基部構件267 定位。在此例中，資訊處理模組24 與底板光纖連接器36’ 兩者都可固定地配置在基部構件267 中，而強迫在底板光纖連接器36’ 與刀鋒光纖連接器46( 見第4B圖 )之間產生對準。
即使是藉由與機架模組外殼26 對準之底板光纖連接器36 、36’ 的對準性，也可在機架模組外殼26 中對準並於已知位置中設置資訊處理模組24 。在此方式中，光學底板延伸模組28 、28’ 與機架模組外殼26 的對準性將確 保底板光纖連接器36 、36’ 和刀鋒光纖連接器之間的對準。需要提供在機架模組外殼26 中之資訊處理模組24 的垂直與水平對準兩者。
就此點而言，第33圖 為偏向輪270 之側部透視圖與放大圖，偏向輪270 為配置在機架模組外殼26 中的資訊處理模組24 提供下基準。雖僅繪示一個偏向輪270 ，但也可設有複數個偏向輪270 ，包含每一個資訊處理模組24 都有一個偏向輪。偏向輪270 係固定於一固定結構273 。偏向輪270 可於固定結構273 中旋轉。如第33圖 所示，偏向輪270 係設置於機架模組外殼26 的基部274 上之內部空間272 中，偏向輪270 與資訊處理模組24之插置槽對準。舉例而言，基部274 可為基部構件267 ，對準構件260 係設置於其中以向外延伸超過底板延伸外殼35’ 的後側部38’ 而延伸至機架模組外殼26 中。當資訊處理模組24 插置在機架模組外殼26 中時，資訊處理模組24 的底部276 將接合偏向輪270 。偏向輪270 將確保資訊處理模組24 係置於固定、已知的垂直位置中而與機架模組外殼26 垂直對準。
為了為置於機架模組外殼26 中之資訊處理模組24 提供水平對準之上基準，係提出了第34圖 。第34圖 說明了彈性負載之偏向構件280 的側部透視圖與放大圖。彈性負載之偏向構件280 係針對可接受資訊處理模組24 之機架模組外殼26 中的每一狹槽而設置。彈性負載之偏向構件280 係安裝在機架模組外殼26 的頂部內側282 ，以 於安裝在機架模組外殼26 中時配置在資訊處理模組24 上方。彈性負載之偏向構件280 包含對準構件284 ，對準構件284 配置有狹槽286 以承接彈簧288 。彈簧288 係鄰接機架模組外殼26 的頂部內側282 。當資訊處理模組24 插置在機架模組外殼26 中時，資訊處理模組24 的頂部內側282 係配置以鄰接，而對準構件284 係配置以下推抵資訊處理模組24 ，以形成上基準。彈性負載之偏向構件280 係與第33圖 中之偏向輪270 所提供的下基準一起輔助機架模組外殼26 中資訊處理模組24 之垂直對準。
此外，在本文中，「光纖纜線」及/或「光纖」意欲包含所有類型的單模與多模光導，包含一或多種光纖，可為上覆光纖、有色光纖、緩衝光纖、成束光纖及/或在纜線中具有其他整線或保護結構(例如一或多個管件、強度構件、護套等)。本文所揭示之光纖可為單模或多模光纖。同樣地，合適的其他類型光纖包含對彎曲不敏感之光纖或任何其他用於傳送光訊號之媒介的合適方式。對彎曲不敏感(或抗彎)光纖的一個實例為康寧公司所產之ClearCurve®多模纖材。此類型之合適纖材係揭示於例如美國專利公開案第2008/0166094號與第2009/0169163號中，上述公開案揭示內容係藉由引用形式而整體併入本文。
