ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A communication exchange comprising a first plurality of electromagnetic transmitting units each of which provides a beam of information bearing electromagnetic radiation trans- mitters; and means for causing a second plurality of electromagnetic radiation receiving units arranged in radiation receiving relationship with said first plurality, each receiving unit being arranged to receive radiation from said first plurality of electromagnetic radiation transmitters; and means for causing the radiation from any selectable one of said transmitting units to be received by any select- able one of said receiving units for establishment of communications therebetween. In a preferred embodiment said communications exchange is comprised of apparatus for select- ably positioning an optical fiber end along a range of posi- tions comprising a bender assembly including at least one piezoelectric bender element and having a first end thereof arranged for association with one or more optical fiber ends and a second end thereof located at a reference position. Suitable application of electrical energy to the piezoelectric bender element causes it to assume a selected position along the range of positions. Various embodiments of bender assemblies and applications thereof in communications are also described.
