10 GigaBit Regeneration Tap™ with SFP Monitor Ports Multimode
and Singlemode Fiber
Net Optics 10 GigaBit Regeneration Taps add the flexibility of modular SFP+ monitor ports to solve key physical layer challenges of multi-device monitoring for 10 Gigabit networks. For a complete picture of network health, Regeneration Taps connect up to eight different network management and security devices at any single 10 Gigabit network location.

One Tap, No Idle Resources
Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regeneration Tap. Maximize resources and save on access points when multiple devices can monitor the same traffic simultaneously through a single Regeneration Tap. Secure, passive access for multiple devices simply means a better return on monitoring investments.

Modular SFP Monitoring Ports  
These 10 GigaBit Regeneration Taps provide the added flexibility of SFP monitoring ports, which enable them to attach to monitoring equipment with any type of fiber interface: singlemode and multimode, and 62.5, 50, or 8.5 m diameters. Just plug in the appropriate SFP transceiver modules for as many and whatever types of tools you want to connect. (1G SFP transceivers are not supported; the Regeneration Tap does not perform data rate conversion.)

Security and Visibility
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 inline, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.

Reliability
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Taps offer redundant power connections. Should one power source fail, the Tap continues to operate normally using only the remaining power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power source.
