An apparatus for selectively coupling fiber optic lines comprises an optical
input
selection device, an optical output selection device, and a rotatable coupling
mechanism interconnecting the optical input selection device and the optical output
selection device. The optical input selection device is rotatable about a first
central axis, and comprises a first input end and a first output end. The first
input end is disposed collinearly with the first central axis, and the first output
end is disposed at a radially offset distance from the first central axis. The
optical output selection device is rotatable about a second central axis, and comprises
a second input end and a second output end. The second input end is disposed at
a radially offset distance from the second central axis, and the second output
end is disposed collinearly with the second central axis. Rotation of the coupling
mechanism causes rotation of the first output end and the second input end.
