FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes a fibre-optic transceiver for receiving from a source input device an optical signal containing transmission address information, and transmitting said optical signal, a transmission address module for receiving said optical signal, and requesting routing, control and storage of transmission address(es), a switching control module for obtaining transmission address information of the optical signal, analysing and selecting the optical switching mode, and transmitting a routing control signal containing transmission address and optical switching mode information, and an optical switching and routing module for receiving said optical signal and transmitting said signal to a target output device (106) through the fibre-optic transceiver (102), receiving the routing control signal from the switching control module (104), selecting routing and transmitting the optical signal to the target output device (106).
EFFECT: longer transmission range.
