ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic switch producing optical connections with very low light losses. The switch has constant mechanical and optical properties over long periods of operation. Adjusting elements act on the end of at least one light conductor to move the end face of the light conductor in the axial and transverse directions. The end face can then be moved opposite to and into contact with the end face of another light conductor.
