An opto-mechanical switch (801) selectively redirects signals traveling through two inputs (803, 805) and two outputs (813, 815) of the switch. The opto-mechanical switch (801) includes a center member (819) that selectively aligns switch fibers (821, 823, 825, 827) which control the path of input signals in response to a control signal. The input and output optical fibers (821, 823, 825, 827) are mounted in blocks (863) that slide against the center member (819). The opto-mechanical switch (801) utilizes rods (891) which engage grooves (865) which provide stops for aligning switch fibers (821, 823, 825, 827) in the center member (819) with the input and output fiber. |
