The Black Box SW1041A does that switch electrically, from a front-panel A\/B button or from wherever the network reaches, and it holds whichever position it was left in even after the power goes away.

Because the switch ports are transparent to data rates, formats, and protocols, whatever runs on that link keeps running, at speeds up to 10 Gbps. Control comes four ways: the A\/B pushbutton on the front, an Ethernet remote-control port that accepts SNMP commands, a telnet session using the same command set as the serial interface, and an RS-232 line, with dry contact available as well. The relays are latching, so a switched position survives a power failure or a deliberate power removal rather than snapping back to a default, and Black Box rates the mechanism to 1,000,000 cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayer 1 CAT6 A\/B switching:\u003c\/strong\u003e transparent to data rates, formats and protocols, handling speeds up to 10 Gbps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatching relays:\u003c\/strong\u003e the connection state is maintained if power fails or is removed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour control paths:\u003c\/strong\u003e front-panel pushbutton, Ethernet with SNMP, telnet, and RS-232 serial, plus dry contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTested to 1,000,000 switching cycles and built in the United States.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compact 2.5 by 6.3 by 8.1 inch chassis at 4 lb, backed by a one-year limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Black Box Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53572297982136,"sku":"SW1041A","price":808.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9110\/4952\/files\/1027655876_65216c73-9a7a-4ebe-9f41-679877d0961f.jpg?v=1780988682","url":"https:\/\/islandelectricalsupply.com\/products\/black-box-sw1041a-cat6-layer-1-ab-switch-latching","provider":"Island Electrical Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
