Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: pig switch
Dieser Begriff ist wieder ohne Kontext in der (prozesstechnischen) Bestellung enthalten:

"2 pig switches cabling"

Kann mir jemand sagen, was "pig switches" sind? Über Google lassen sich zahlreiche englische Erklärungen und auch Abbildungen finden. Dennoch wüsste ich nicht, wie ich diesen Begriff korrekt ins Deutsche übersetzen sollte.
