Major features
The major features of the Black Box full-duplex Copper TAPs are:
Passive access at 10/100 or 1000 Mbps without packet
tampering or introducing a single point of failure
No packet loss if the TAP loses power
Automatic link failover for devices that have an alternate path
Allows you to connect and disconnect the analysis device as
needed without taking the network down
Optional redundant power ensures maximum monitoring
uptime
All traffic (including errors) is passed from all OSI layers for
troubleshooting
Enhanced security because the TAP does not require or use an
IP address, which makes it, and the analyzer connected to it,
impervious to viruses and other attacks
LEDs show power and link status
Optional 19-inch rack frames hold up to three TAPs
Front-mounted connectors make installation simple
