1. An apparatus comprising:
a package substrate comprising one or more plated through hole (PTH) structures;
an optical waveguide coupled with the package substrate, the optical waveguide comprising one or more input/output (I/O) optical signal pathways to route I/O signals to and from the package substrate; and
one or more optical fibers coupled with the optical waveguide, the one or more optical fibers being disposed in the PTH structures to route I/O signals to and from the package substrate.
