Abstract
A system for transmitting optical information uses several transmitters and receivers connected by optical fibers. The transmitters and receivers are arranged in individual networks in each of which all the optical fibers leaving the transmitters are coupled to one another and all the optical fibers arriving at the receivers are coupled to one another. In addition, all the optical fibers leaving the transmitters in each individual network are interconnected to the corresponding optical fibers, i.e., those leaving the transmitters, in all the other networks.
