Abstract of the Disclosure A device for switching optical signal paths of the type utilizing a plurality of light-transmitting optical fibers comprises a flexible elongated sleeve having a longitudinally continuous interior cross section with a plurality of corners forming fiber-aligning grooves. The sleeve end and a plurality of second fibers form a second sleeve end. Each second fiber has its coupling end biased against an assigned corner. Also, the ends of all the second fibers are contained in one transverse plane. The coupling end of the first fiber is positioned adjacent to the transverse plane and a portion of the first fiber, remote from its end, is fixedly secured to the sleeve. Coupling of the first fiber with any of the second fibers is achieved by flexing the sleeve to move the first fiber end against the corner containing the selected second fiber.
