The present invention provides an improved dual in-line (DIL) switch having a sliding bar (210), which blocks or allows communication to pass through by way of push or pull motion, wherein if the position of the sliding bar (210) is pushed in, all signals passing through the DIL switch are blocked and if the position of the slide bar is pulled out, all the connections are allowed to pass through. In one preferred embodiment, the improved DIL switch is integrated with a registered jack RJ-xx to create RJ switch in the form of wall plate or interconnection box. In another preferred embodiment, the improved DIL switch is integrated with a hard disk drive (HDD) to form an HDD switch for an additional internal or external HDD, or alternatively a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive, when used together with RJ switch, creates a method and system to secure computer communication and data storage from virtual hacking via malicious networks. An innovation is made to have 10-way 8PST+2PST DIL switch activated in opposite direction to create the hacking-free data storage as well. Second innovation is made where the first 8PST acting as the RJ switch for wired Ethernet network can be replaced with 4PST to act as a hot-swappable USB switch for wireless network using wireless USB network adapter like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G and WiMAX. The second 2PST activated reversely is extendable to other nPST to control the power and/or data connection of the USB or SATA ports. |
