Ethernet breaker
I'm looking for a device which could act as an ethernet breaker switch based on the application or loss of power to that device. On one hand we could accomplish what we need with a low-cost switch and two cables. However, in our application and environment this would introduce several new problems. What I really need is a two port fast ethernet repeater that I could cut power to and break the link. Of course, such a thing doesn't exist (or does it?).
Any suggestions on a part that could fill this role? We could probably design and build a mechanical switch to break the link, but I'm trying to find something we could buy before going down that road.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
