Abstract
An optical fiber switch circuit combines optical fiber switches that are capable of switching the connection of many circuits at the same time by using fewer actuators. The optical fiber switch circuit combines at least one N x 2N, N being equal or greater than 1 optical fiber switch which employs optical fibers for switching the connection of an N number of movable optical fibers from one N number of fixed optical fibers of a 2N number of fixed optical fibers to the other N number of fixed optical fibers at the same time.
