Not sure if you are referring to a fibre equipped Ethernet switch or being able to switch a switch a single fibre source to multiple ports. If it is the latter here is a link

We were considering using something like this to inhibit the trigger to the e-gun for top up inhibit.

We are exploring the use of computer controlled fiber optic switches for switching between redundant signal sources.  Does anybody already use these things?  What brands do you recommend?  How fast do they switch?

All advice gratefully accepted.

Thanks
