ABSTRACT:
The end portions of a number of optical cables each having one or more optical fibers are fixed onto the conical surface of a supporting frame. The end portion of a movable cable with one or more optical fibers is rotated about the axis of the conical surface so that its end portion is aligned with one of the fixed cables and so that the fibers in the movable cable are optically aligned with the fibers in such fixed cable. The movable cable is rotated by a stepping motor to accomplish the switching action.
