10 GigaBit Media Converter Tap
1
Net Optics 10 GigaBit Converter Taps simplify connecting 10 GigaBit monitor-
ing and security devices to dissimilar fiber network links. Convert SR to LR and
tap into the link with one device, reducing cost and complexity at the same time .
10 GigaBit Converter Taps are optimized, high-performance devices that support
passive monitoring of 10 GigaBit links at 10 Gbps speeds .
Transparent Access
10 GigaBit Converter Taps establish permanent passive access ports without
introducing a point of failure or disturbing other network connections . Net Op-
tics unique dust cap is tethered to the connector so it is always right where you
need it . These passive Taps deliver full-duplex monitoring with zero impact on
network traffic around the clock.
Security and Visibility
Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dra-
matically 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, includ
-
ing Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors .
Simply Plug It In
Full-duplex monitoring is a snap with supplied cables . All network and monitor-
ing cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap .
Reliability
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics 10 GigaBit SR to LR Taps offer redun-
dant power connections . Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automati-
cally switches to the backup power source . Power LEDs on the front of the Tap
indicate the current power source – even if power is lost and reapplied, there is
always zero delay to network traffic.
