A large capacity ATM switch (10) includes a space switch core (16) connectin g input buffer modules (12) and output buffer modules (14) by way of high spee d links (34). Upon request from an input buffer module, the space switch core sets up a connection to a desired output module. Data are sent in a burst consisting of a train of ATM cells of any arbitrary number. As the data are sent in trains of more than one ATM cell, the connection control (32) of the core can be made to operate at a much slower speed. Electro-optical arrangements of the space switch core (Figure 8) are described as embodiment s.
