GigaBit Fiber LC Tap
Passive monitoring access for 100% visibility
The need to measure traffic loads on networks that carry VoIP, videoconferencing, and security applications has never been greater. A reliable, high-performance 1Gbps cabling system that utilizes passive in-line Taps is a fundamental asset in today’s leading organizations, to increase productivity while decreasing operational costs.
Net Optics GigaBit LC-based Fiber Taps are optimized and tested for optimal performance on 1Gbps fiber networks. Available in single-mode and multi-mode fiber, the GigaBit Tap supports passive monitoring, stealth operation, and 24x7 reliability.
All Optical Design
Requiring no power, the GibaBit LC Fiber Taps maintain permanent access ports for monitoring tools, without introducing a point of failure or interfering with network connections. The passive nature of the GigaBit Tap delivers full-duplex monitoring with 100 percent network traffic visibility, including layer 1 and 2 errors. The optical split ratio can be selected to match the monitoring requirements of your network.
Security and Visibility
Because the Tap does not require an IP address, both the Tap and attached monitoring tools are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks. The combination of stealth operation and traffic monitoring through the network takes secure visibility to a new level, ideal for achieving Data Security Compliance.
Simply Plug It In
Depending on your network environment, network and monitoring cable kits may be necessary for deployment. Net Optics' Cable Kits give you all the cables you need to deploy a Net Optics LC Fiber Tap in an LC- or SC- connected environment. Custom monitoring cables are used to send each side of the network link to a separate NIC on the monitoring tool for full-duplex monitoring.
Cable Kits are sold separately.
Doing Our Part
We are dedicated to ensuring user safety, and developing products that are increasingly environment friendly. All of our GigaBit LC Fiber Taps adhere to UL and CE safety certifications; FCC, VCCI, and C-Tick EMC certifications; and RoHS and WEEE environmental certifications.
