Abstract
A CATV system comprises two coaxial cables (11, 12) for transmitting information obtained from a center unit, a slide switch (1), and a CATV converter (30). As a slider (73) of the slide switch is slided in one direction with the same in contact with a common contact (101) connected to the CATV converter, the slider is placed in contact with a first fixed contact (104) connected to one coaxial cable while a first terminating contact (110) connected to a first terminating resistor (13) is separated from the first fixed contact. When the slider is slided in the other direction, the slider is placed in contact with a second fixed contact (107) connected to the other coaxial cable, while a second terminating contact (111) connected to the second terminating resistor (14) is separated from the second fixed contact. Accordingly, each of the coaxial cables is not opened through selection of the slide switch, whereby mixing of an image is prevented from occurring due to mismatching.
