Abstract:
A multi-tiered optical assembly includes a ferrule body having a mating face, a rear face, and a pair of spaced apart sidewalls, with the mating face, the rear face, and the sidewalls defining an opening. The ferrule body further includes a first support level, and a second support level, with the second support level being vertically spaced from the first support level. First and second flexible optical waveguide members each include at least one waveguide. The first waveguide member is disposed at the first support level and extends between the mating face and the rear face, and the second waveguide member is disposed at the second support level and extends between the mating face and the rear face.

Claim (Index 20):
A multi-tiered optical assembly comprising:\n a ferrule body having a mating face, a rear face, a pair of spaced apart stepped sidewalls, the mating face, the rear face, and the sidewalls defining an opening, a first support level including a pair of spaced apart first side surface portions, the first side surface portions being a first distance apart, and a second support level including a pair of spaced apart second side surface portions, the second side surface portions being a second distance apart, the second distance being greater than the first distance, the second support level being vertically spaced from the first support level; a first flexible optical waveguide member, the first flexible waveguide member having a first mating edge and including at least one first waveguide, the first optical waveguide member having a first width, the first waveguide member being disposed at the first support level with the first mating edge of the first waveguide member being disposed generally adjacent the mating face of the ferrule body; and a second flexible optical waveguide member, the second flexible waveguide member having a second mating edge and including at least one second waveguide, the second optical waveguide member having a second width, the second width being wider than the first width, the second waveguide member being disposed at the second support level with the second mating edge of the second waveguide member being disposed generally adjacent the mating face of the ferrule body.
