Optical transmission system

Abstract

An optical transmission system includes an optical path cross-connect device and an electrical cross-connect device connected by a plurality of working and standby input/output interface links. Optical signals in the working and standby systems are entered from the optical path cross-connect device into the electrical cross-connect device via the working and standby interface links, respectively, and switching of working and standby transmission lines is performed electrically by the electrical cross-connect device without momentary disconnect.
