A scalable non-blocking switching network (SN) having switches and intermediate (stages of) conductors that are used to connect substantially a first plurality of conductors, through a first set of switches, to a second plurality sets of conductors. The conductors in each set of the second plurality of conductors substantially connect, through a second set of switches, to a third plurality of sets of conductors. Each conductor of a set of the third plurality sets of conductors either connects, physically, to one pin in each of a plurality of functional blocks or, through a third set of switches, to a subsequent fourth plurality sets of conductors. The SN is scalable for large sized sets of conductors and can be used hierarchically in, for example, an integrated circuit or in an electronic system.
