1. Scope This standard specifies the detailed specification for the optical board connector
type MF to connect a flexible optical board and a ribbon fibre cable by means of buckling
in physical contact of the bare optical fibres.
The purpose
of this standard is to provide the information of required characteristics of the connector
and the methods to evaluate it, and to clarify the conditions in assembling the connector
to an optical board.
