What Is The Difference Between Passive And Active Switches?

1.	What Is The Difference Between Passive And Active Switches?
Answer» Passive switch doesn't have any active COMPONENTS and it is a hard wired connection whereas, active switches are used to retain the ACTIONS performed by HARDWARE devices that are connected during switching process. Passive switches are wired internally between Input/Output ports whereas, active switches uses the computers connection for their connections they don't rely on external or internal WIRES. Passive switches are simple and cheap whereas, active switches are a bit expensive in terms of its application and it REQUIRES separate power supplies.
