Introduction
Get total trafc visibility for monitoring and security devices by placing
Net Optics Fiber Tap HD8 on critical network links. The all-optical design
of the Fiber Tap HD8 is optimized and tested for high-performance on ber
networks. Available for both singlemode and multimode ber, the GigaBit and
10 GigaBit Fiber Tap HD8 supports passive monitoring of ber optics links.
Slim Prole
Flat-out, the thinnest 8 station Fiber Tap HD8. The new slim prole of the
Fiber Tap HD8 saves rack space—install up to sixteen Taps in a one rack unit
panel.
All Optical Design
Requiring no power, Fiber Tap HD8 maintains 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
trafc around the clock.
Simply Plug It In
Full-duplex monitoring is a snap with a custom monitoring cable that sends
each side of the signal to a separate NIC on the monitoring device.
Fiber Tap HD8
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 trafc as if it were in-line, including
Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.

Connecting to the Network
1. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate network device using a Duplex
LC cable.
2. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate network device using a Duplex
LC cable.
3. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 as needed for remaining segements.
Note: ________________________________________________________________
The use of Singlemode (8.5µm) or Multimode (50µm or 62.5µm) cabling is
determined by the model purchased.

Connecting to the Monitoring Device
1. Connect to the Monitor Port using a Net Optics custom LC analyzer cable
2. Connect one side of the twin-duplex ber cable into a RX port on the
monitoring device to view one side of the full-duplex link.
3. Connect the other side of the twin-duplex ber cable into another RX port
on the monitoring device to view the other side of the full-duplex link.
4. Verify that the Tap Monitor Port is cabled to the monitoring device.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 as needed for remaining segements.
Note: ________________________________________________________________
The connectors on the twin-duplex side of the custom analyzer cable contain
RX connections only. The empty TX sides are present to eliminate cabling
errors and should also be connected to the monitoring device
