PURPOSE: An optical shuffle is provided to realize a rotational device for an optical shuffle that facilitates the switching of optical fibers from each of a plurality of input ribbons to each of a plurality of output ribbons. CONSTITUTION: The device includes a rotation device(100) for an optical shuffle. Device(100) comprises a housing(102) having a twisted guide channel(104) extending through an interior portion thereof. Although housing(102) has any shape, it is preferred for mounting purposes and for space allocation that housing(102) has a generally block-shaped exterior. Twisted guide channel(104) has a receiving end(106), and an output end (108). A plurality of guide walls(104A,104B,104C,104D) extend from receiving end(106) to output end(108), and rotate relative to longitudinal axis(110) of device(100) as they extend through housing(102). Housing(102) could be one piece, or could be made from multiple pieces.
