10 GigaBit In-Line Regeneration Tap
Introduction
Net Optics 10 GigaBit Regeneration Taps solve the key physical layer chal-
lenges of multi-device monitoring for 10 GigaBit fiber networks. For a complete
picture of network health, these Taps connect multiple 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 link traffic simultaneously through a single Regeneration Tap. Secure,
passive access for multiple devices simply means a better return on monitoring
investments .
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 .
Reliability
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics 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 .
