Abstract

A fibre optic switch includes one movable fibre (1) and two or more fixed fibres (2). The fixed fibres are retained in V-shaped grooves. The movable fibre has a ferromagnetic component 4 attached to it, and is moved into alignment with the fixed fibres by solenoids (7(a)) and (7(b)), one for each fixed fibre. Magnets (8(a)) and (8(b)) associated with the solenoids latch the movable fibre in place. The ferromagnetic component has a ferromagnetic contact surrounding it, and secured to one end of the component.
