The Switch component receive 12 inputs, then gives us the chance to choose what input we want to use.
It would be useful to have also the contrary. A Switch for receiving one single input and having 12 outputs, giving the chance to select what output we want to use.

In most cases it is possible to solve the problem also without an Output Switch, but it makes the filter much bigger and it adds more controls than what could be done simply having an Output Switch.

how is that different from using the single output as source for multiple destinations?

Practical example :

I'm making a filter using Levels.
I would like to target Black Point, Gamma and White Point with the same source, but avoiding that this same source hits two of these inputs at the same time.
This means, going to Black Point, but not on the other two, when Black Point is selected, etc.
And, this time it is easy to solve because there are only 3 possible targets. But, in case of more complex situations, the filter becomes big only to do this selection.

what happens with the connected inputs in the Levels that are not in use then? Black/zero?

In this case they would be at zero/black.
