Hi there,
I'm looking for a relay that could be used to switch off 2 pairs of UTP (10baseT/100baseT) to protect an ethernet switch. The relay should disconnect at least 2 pairs (preferably 8-16) and insert low loss in the lines. It could also be a, let's say, "servomotor-driven-N-pin-connector". Does such thing even exist?
Well, I know this sounds strange, but I have lost some ethernet switches during summer thunderstorms. I should use shielded and grounded TP but in _this_ particular situation I don't have this option. BTW I know about APC Netprotectors - they are not what I want.
