An optical cross-connecting device is small in scale of a switch even when a wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through an optical fiber is high density and wide range. Switching of the wavelength multiplexed signals is performed in a first optical switch, switching per wavelength group in a second optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity, and switching per wavelength signals in a third optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity to from the opticall cross-connecting device. By this, even when the wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through the optical fiber is high density and wide band, the optical cross-connecting device can be small in scale of a switch.
