Hi all I'm a relatively new electrical engineer who's been asked to take 5 Cat 5 data lines and feed them to a hub which selects one of them upon receiving data in that line to send to a computer. As it is now, they have to unplug the one they're currently using and plug in the one they want to use. They want a solution where the cables stay plugged in and one input is selected based upon receiving data on that input (or manual mechanical control).
