- A Net Optics Breakthrough
Highly sensitive network locations can improve monitoring performance via
the innovative features of Net Optics Taps . If power is lost to other 10/100
Taps, the connected devices may introduce delays as they detect the power
loss and try to re-establish their link . Net Optics’ pioneering design ensures
that any loss of power to the Tap is transparent to the network and does not
affect the flow of traffic through the Tap – eliminating packet delay and loss as
potential security issues .
Cabling Guidelines
If connecting to Switches or Hubs, use CAT5e RJ45 cross-over cabling •
If connecting to routers or NICs, use CAT5e RJ45 straight-through cabling •
