Abstract:
Example implementations relate to blind-mating optical ferrule assemblies. For example, an apparatus to blind-mate optical ferrule assemblies can comprise a first optical ferrule assembly including a ferrule housing and a ferrule disposed at least in part within the ferrule housing, a semi-final alignment pin and a semi-final alignment hole disposed on the first optical ferrule assembly to align the first optical ferrule assembly with a second optical ferrule assembly, and a final alignment pin and a final alignment hole disposed on the first optical ferrule assembly to further align the first optical ferrule assembly to the second optical ferrule assembly.
