Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0606943A1] This relates to selecting one source from among a plurality, by means of shunt and series switches which are respectively closed or conducting and vice versa. In order to give access to four sources, for example, the device comprises two intermediate terminals (B1, B2), a series switch (SEa, SEb) is placed between the user and each of the two intermediate terminals, and each of the intermediate terminals is linked to two sources (IN1,IN2, or IN3, IN4) by a series switch (SE1, SE2, SE3, SE4) on each occasion. Moreover, each source (IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4) is linked to earth, in terms of alternating current, by a matching impedance in series with a shunt switch (Z1, SH1, or Z2, SH2 or Z3, SH3 or Z4, SH4). Applications: Cable television distribution. <IMAGE>
