The present invention relates to a switch matrix for making cross-connects for telephone lines. The switch matrix is comprised of a plurality of switch components ( 1 ) that include a plurality of input lines (A, B . . . ), a plurality of output lines (a, b . . . ), in which all of the output lines are commonly connected to the switch components, and drive means ( 3 ) and contact blocks ( 2 ) for selectively cross-connecting any one of the first switch component ( 1 ) input lines (A, B . . . ) to any one of the output lines (a, b . . . ). According to an embodiment, the invention comprises a switch component ( 4 ) that is arranged perpendicularly with respect to the first switch components ( 1 ), and a further switch component ( 6 ) is arranged in parallel with the first switch components and are connected the output lines (a, b . . . ). Furthermore, the input lines (A, B . . . ) connected to the first switch component ( 1 ) are also connected to inputs of the perpendicularly oriented switch component ( 4 ), whereby the output line ( 5 ) of switch component ( 4 ) is commonly connected to all the lines going into the further switch component ( 6 ). |
