Introduction
Get total trafc visibility for monitoring and security devices by placing
Net Optics Fiber Slim Taps on critical network links. The all-optical design of the
Fiber Tap is optimized and tested for high-performance on ber networks.
Available in LC connector types for singlemode or multimode ber networks run-
ing at ATM, Gigabit and 10 GigaBit speeds.
All Optical Design
Requiring no power, Fiber Taps maintain 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. All
monitoring and network cables are included with Net Optics Fiber Taps for
plug-and-play deployment.
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.
