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.
