Get total traffic visibility for 10/100/1000 monitoring and security devices by placing Net Optics 10/100/1000BaseT Taps on critical network links. 10/100/1000BaseT Taps support passive monitoring of 10/100/1000 links at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. This Tap is ideal when a passive Tap is required for use with a variety of copper monitoring devices. For superior reliability, the 10/100/1000BaseT Tap features Link Fault Detect (LFD), which gives the devices connected to the Tap critical information about link status. If either side of the bi-directional link fails, the Tap immediately communicates the fault to both devices, reducing the time required to activate a redundant path.

Full-duplex monitoring is a snap when each side of the signal is sent to a separate NIC on the monitoring device. All network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap. Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks. However, the monitoring device connected to the Tap still sees all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics 10/100/1000BaseT Taps offer redundant power  connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. All network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included.
