The cross-connect arrangement is provided with an optical switching matrix for switching through optical part-signals, which are assembled as several wavelength multiplex (WDM) signals (E1...Em). Discrete signals are switched through for assembling as newly configured WDM output signals (A1...Am). Modulators (MC11-MCmn) are used as the wavelength converter, and a carrier signal generator (WG) generates a number of carrier signals (T1-Tn) depending on the number of output part-signals with different wavelengths. WDM-output signals (A1,A2...Am) are formed via modulators (MC11,MC21...MCm1) from the carrier signals, with optical output signals (OS11-OSmn) used to modulate the carrier. |
