I have no idea what you mean? Do you mean a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch where you can select between 1 of 2 inputs? The same could be done with a SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switch if both signals shared the same common. If that is what you are getting at switches like that are very, very common globally. Additionally you don't mention it but I assume low current?
OK, you want a analog multiplexer/demultiplexer chip. I was thinking something like a physical manually operated switch. What you need to do is look at the On Resistances shown in the data sheet placing thought on your load(s).
<EDIT> Ian is pointing to a very good solution. That will give you what you want and again, note the nice low Ron (On Resistance). </EDIT>
Yes. Right now I am using the TI ones to switch between many simcards and it works fine. You can look at it as a relay with 5ohm contact resistance, but never forget that if you get above the supply rail the ESD protection diodes will start to conduct and will clamp your signal to Vcc+0.3.
Also another funny thing I measured is that if you leave the data pins floating and try to measure the on resistance you will get nonsense results, because the pins are very high impedance so they usually stay outside the supply voltage range, so the switch fets cannot open.
