Hi all,

I want to make a network switch. No...it's not what you think. I want
to be able to physically interrupt a gigabit network connection. Bonus
points for an A/B instead of just an on/off. I'm doing this right now
by physically connecting and disconnecting cables, but it would be
nice to be able to do this remotely and/or automatically.

If this wasn't a high speed data signal, I'd just use something like
relays or some kind of semiconductor switch. However, I'm not sure
what sort of complications I'll run into if I try that on this signal.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I won't have much time to respond for the next day or two, but I
wanted to give everyone time to think! I will do my best to pop in and
out though as I'll be traveling, internet might be scarce.

Thanks!

Josh

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
