Network distributor with cascade circuit

摘要

The distributor (1) has a network switch (4), building connectors (A1, A2), and a superordinate network element e.g. Internet router, where a device connection element (V1) i.e. RJ-45 socketand the connectors are connected with a port of the switch. An analog switch (6) is switched between the connectors such that the connectors are directly interconnected. The analog switch is formed such that the analog switch detects an error in the network switch. Partial connectors are connected with the port of the network switch to transfer signals of a physical network connection.
