ABSTRACT:
A fibre-optical relay for switching optical signals between signal paths contains a fixed first holder (12) with parallel optical fibres (13, 14, 15) and a movable slide (8), similarly with parallel optical fibres (19, 20, 21). The slide can be displaced by an actuating arm (7) at right angles to the axial direction of the fibres from an initial position to a final position situated at a fibre spacing (d) from each other. The fibres (19, 20, 21) on the slide (8) are further arranged in a fixed second holder (16) displaced in the transverse direction of the fibres by half a fibre spacing (d/2).
