Usb Switch

Does anyone know of a simple in line switch to allow you to turn a USB input from a device on and off? I have a problem with a device that requires unplugging and replugging to get it to run. I have tried several fixes but nothing has worked, so to save removing and reconnecting USB i thought this might work.

Should consider going into device manager->USB Root Hud and turning off the power mgmt feature.

Done all that good stuff EzyStvy, thats why i would like the ability to turn it on and off externally to stop removing and reinserting plug on computer. Temporarily i will use an extension lead connector to save wearing out one on computer. I guess i will try and make my own with a 4 way switch, dont know if it will work.
