In electronics, a multiplexer (or mux), also known as a data selector, is a device that selects between several analog or digital input signals and forwards it to a single output line. A multiplexer of 2ⁿ inputs has n select lines, which are used to select which input line to send to the output. Multiplexers are mainly used to increase the amount of data that can be sent over the network within a certain amount of time and bandwidth.
