The optical switch comprises a housing (110) having first and second diametrically opposed sections (112, 114), optical cable (120), and collimator devices (116, 118) coupled to the optical cables (120). A first steering device is connected to the first collimator device (116) and to the first section (112) of the housing (110), and moves the first collimator device (116) such that the collimated light beam transmitted thereby is capable of being directed at substantially any point within the second section (114) of the housing (110). A second steering device is connected to a second collimator device (118) and to the second section (114) of the housing (110) and moves the second collimator device (118) such that the second collimator device (118) is capable of directly receiving a collimated light beam transmitted from within the first section (112) of the housing (110). A controller is connected to and controls the steering devices.
