The invention concerns a general switch in which a word oriented switch and a bit oriented switch are connected such that a common input signal which comprises data appearing in time slots is provided to both switches. The general switch further comprises means for establishing, for each one of a number of outgoing time slots, at least one of a first connection path through the word oriented switch and a second connection through the bit oriented switch, and means for selecting, for each outgoing time slot, data from an established one of the connection paths. Preferably, for each outgoing time slot, only one of the connection paths is established and the selecting means selects data from the established connection path.
