ABSTRACT:
An optical matrix switch includes a first guide mechanism having plural guide portions arranged in parallel, a first slider for holding an optical fiber, the first slider being freely slidably mounted along a guide portion of the first guide mechanism, a first partition member for isolating a surplus-length portion of the optical fiber along the guide portion of the first guide mechanism the optical fiber being connected to the first slider, and first drive means for moving the first slider along the guide portion of the first guide mechanism.
