Need to connect one computer, test instrument, or network device to four different Ethernet networks without repeatedly unplugging cables?
The LineSelect® Model 8052 provides a simple, reliable solution.
This Cat6 shielded RJ45 A/B/C/D manual network switch allows an operator to select between four separate network connections using a convenient front-panel rotary selector. With all eight RJ45 pins physically switched, the Model 8052 provides a transparent connection to the selected network—without requiring external power.
Key features include:
- 4-position A/B/C/D network selection
- No external power required
- Cat6 shielded RJ45 connectivity
- All 8 RJ45 pins switched
- EMI/RFI-shielded metal enclosure
- Designed and manufactured in the USA
- Ideal for network testing, troubleshooting, industrial Ethernet, defense, laboratory, utility, and equipment maintenance applications
Whether you need to switch between Ethernet networks, test equipment, industrial systems, or secure network segments, the Model 8052 provides dependable physical network selection without the complexity of a powered managed switch.
Simplifies Network and Device Selection
The Model 8052 provides a straightforward alternative to manually moving network cables between systems. Potential applications include:
- Network test and troubleshooting — Quickly connect test equipment or a workstation to multiple networks.
- Industrial and manufacturing networks — Select between multiple network segments without repeatedly disconnecting cables.
- Secure or controlled network access — Provide physical selection between networks or systems.
- Test laboratories — Connect a common instrument or computer to multiple RJ45 devices.
- Military and defense systems — Provide a simple, non-powered method of physically selecting between network connections.
- Power and utility applications — Facilitate controlled access to multiple networked systems in industrial environments.
- Equipment maintenance — Reduce connector wear caused by repeatedly plugging and unplugging network cables.
