1. An optical crossconnect apparatus, comprising:

  • a plurality of optical signal input units receiving an optical signal from an optical transmission path;

    a plurality of optical signal output units transmitting the optical signal to said transmission path;

    a first optical signal repeater applying a predetermined signal processing to the optical signal to be transmitted therefrom; and

    an optical signal switching unit which includes;

    a plurality of input ports, each of which receives the optical signal from one of said plurality of optical signal input units, a second input port receiving the optical signal from said first optical signal repeater, a plurality of first output ports, each of which outputs the optical signal to one of said plurality of optical output units, and a second output port outputting the optical signal to said first optical signal repeater, wherein said optical signal switching unit connects said first input port to one of said plurality of first output ports or said second output port, and connects said second input port to one of said plurality of first output ports.
