Patent ID: 8837462

Claim:
System for point-to-point manual routing of data between avionics equipment comprising: first structure for point-to-point routing high speed data from first avionics equipment on board an aircraft to second avionics equipment on board said aircraft through a manually-operable electromechanical switch having at least first and second manually-settable positions and associated electrical contacts; and second structure coupled to the first structure for manually changing position of the electromechanical switch to instead point-to-point route said high speed data from the first avionics equipment to third avionics equipment on board said aircraft and different from said second avionics equipment, wherein the electromechanical switch connects said high speed data point-to-point from said first equipment to said second or third equipment through said manually-settable electromechanical switch electrical contacts at a flow rate in excess of 1 mbits/second.
