Disclosed is an optical fiber displacement connector and method used with a fiber optic cable as an optical tap. The fiber optic cable includes a light carrying center, a cladding and a buffer. The cladding displacement connector has surfaces which can be used for displacing the buffer and cladding to expose the light carrying center. The cladding displacement connector at least partially surrounds the light carrying center of the fiber optic cable. The cladding displacement connectors are formed of an optically conductive material and is insertable into a printed circuit board or an integrated circuit chip. The connector can carry bi-directional and multi-wavelength light signals. The optical signal carried by the light carrying center of the fiber optic cable can be caused to exit the fiber optic cable by displacing the cladding, abrading the cladding, dissolving the cladding, and carving a groove into the light carrying center. The connector is then placed in optical contact with the light carrying center of the optical cable. The connector can also be used with an optical fiber.
