Looking for low cost Ethernet split switch

Jun 15, 2007 2 Replies

I am doing some testing, I have Two router boards (switch ports), I have to connect my laptop to one board at a time, everytime 15 Minutes I have to swap my laptop ethernet connection to the board, Is there any dumb ethernet split switch available (low cost), can some expert advice me. Thanks.



this split switch should have 2 or more inputs and one output, so I can position one of the input always, that's all, looking for some real cheap switch.



They had this invention a while back called Google. Try using it.

You could probably find one at your local Radio Shack store too.

APC makes a broad line of A/B switches:

I bought such a switch from Fry's Electronics about 8 years ago for $15. It worked fine for 10Mbps Ethernet, but I don't know whether it works for 100Mbps or 1Gbps Ethernet.
