A compact "T" switch for use in a waveguide communication system switch includes a housing, a rotor, and a motor. The housing includes a pair of ends and an interconnecting sidewall enclosing a cylindrical cavity. One of the housing ends including an entry port, and the sidewall includes a plurality circumferentially spaced exit ports. The rotor is rotatably disposed within the housing cylindrical cavity, and includes an input end having an input port aligned with the housing entry port and an outer surface having a plurality of output ports for alignment with the housing exit ports. The rotor includes a primary or first passage connecting the input port to one of the output ports and further includes at least one secondary passages connecting a pair of the output ports. A motor is provided for rotating the rotor within the cavity for aligning each of the output ports with an adjacent one of the exit ports, thereby permitting the first passage to be connected to a selected one of the exit ports, and further permitting the secondary passage to interconnect a pair of the remaining exit ports.
