We present a system architecture for a high power fiber optic delivery system to deliver the laser power from many sources to many destinations. For our application, the sources are copper vapor laser chains and the destinations are dye laser amplifiers. By means of this fiber delivery architecture, the delivery system can be configured conveniently in a fully redundant fashion. In this system the light arriving at every destination includes an equal fraction from every source. We also describe the functions of the opto-mechanical components necessary for implementation of this architecture.
