Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for mounting a plurality of components, preferably optical components, with a device, such as a circuit board, to provide communication onto and off of the device. The apparatus includes a mount body having an interface wall, a first component mount fixed with the interface wall, wherein the first component mount extends out from the interface wall, and a second component mount fixed with the interface wall, wherein the second component mount extends out from the interface wall. The first component mount is configured to receive and secure a first optical component such that at least a portion of the first optical component extends out from the interface wall. The second component mount is configured to receive and secure a second optical component such that at least a portion of the second optical component extends out from the interface wall.
