A ferrule of an optical connector device is to accept one or more optical fibers in one or more fiber holes of the ferrule, the ferrule is formed from a dielectric material. The ferrule includes a face to interface with an optical socket of another device, where ends of the one or more optical fibers are exposed at the face to communicate photon signals with another device. The ferrule further includes alignment features formed in the dielectric layer to align the ends of the one or more optical fibers with one or more waveguides of the other device.
