Optical cross-connect

Such a switch is often called a transparent OXC or photonic cross-connect (PXC). Specifically, optical signals are demultiplexed, then the demultiplexed wavelengths are switched by optical switch modules.

Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) Fundamentals

An optical cross-connect (OXC) is a network device that switches high‐speed optical signals between fiber inputs and outputs without converting them to electronics.
