Installation Guide for Gigabit TX/SX Tap

Introduction
Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX Tap simplifies connecting FX fiber monitoring
and.security.devices.to.GigaBit.copper.network.links ..Convert.TX.to.SX.and.
tap.into.the.link.with.one.device,.reducing.cost.and.complexity.at.the.same.
time ..GigaBit.TX.to.SX.Taps.support.passive.monitoring.of.GigaBit.links.at.
speeds.at.1000.Mbps .
Transparent Access
GigaBit.TX.to.SX.Taps.establish.permanent.passive.access.ports.without.
introducing.a.point.of.failure.or.disturbing.other.network.connections ..These.
passive.Taps.deliver.full-duplex.monitoring.with.zero.impact.on.network.traf-
fic around the clock.
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 in-line,
including.Layer.1.and.Layer.2.errors .
Simply Plug It In
Full-duplex.monitoring.is.a.snap.with.supplied.cables ..All.networking.and.
monitoring.cables.necessary.for.plug.and.play.deployment.are.included.with.
the.Tap
Reliability
For.extra.uptime.protection,.Net.Optics.GigaBit.TX.to.SX.Taps.offer...
redundant.power.connections ..Should.the.primary.power.source.fail,.the.Tap.
automatically.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.reap-
plied, there is always zero delay to network traffic.
