To share hardware components or devices among multiple computers or users,
nothing is as simple or economical as a manual data switch. DataPro offers a
huge array of rotary switch boxes with all types of connectors.
Each of our switchboxes are built in durable, attractive metal frames and feature
a break-before-make safety mechanism to prevent shorts and overlaps.
The ultimate solution to top-secret telephone usage, DataPro's 2011-series
of data switches are manual, rotary-knob switches for selecting between
a number of RJ1106 (also known as RJ12) telephone connectors.
With these lovely dinosaurs, you can manually route RS232, IEEE-1284, or
other serial/parallel data channels between multiple hosts and devices.
The Break-Before-Make mechanism ensures that data will not be duplicated
across transitions and that a three-way-splice is impossible.
The DataPro RJ45 manual switch box allows you to change telephone or
10Mb Ethernet connections with a rotary switch. There's nothing quite so
satisfying as the resounding "THUNK" of a rotary data switch, perfect
for steampunk and super-villain applications.
If you want to feel like a super-villain or a 1960's super-scientist,
while having manual selection of multiple VGA inputs or outputs, this
switch box is the perfect solution. It's a sturdily-crafted rotary
box that works as a many-to-one or one-to-many distributor.
