The Switch allows connecting different networks to each other. Only network messages will be passed along, components will not be visible through this. Use this to separate networks while still allowing communication using Network Cards. The reasoning is the same as for the [[block:power_distributor|power distributor]] not connecting its adjacent networks: you may often wish to keep your sub-networks separate. This allows computers in different sub-networks to communicate without having to go all out and use wireless networks. | The Switch allows connecting different networks to each other.
