A device for fiber optic free-space optical communication between electronic components, having no physical communication connection, in which terminal ends of optical fibers are aligned such that light emitting from the terminal end of one optical fiber is transmitted across free-space and received by the terminal end of another optical fiber. The light thusly received is transmitted to a corresponding transceiver, to which the optical fiber is connected, deployed on the electronic component, thereby establishing optical communication between two transceivers across the free-space separating the two terminal ends.
