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.

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.
Note: ________________________________________________________________
The use of Singlemode (8.5μm), Multimode (50μm or 62.5μm), or LC cabling
is determined by the model purchased.

Connecting to the Monitoring Device
1. Connect to the Monitor Port using the included 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.
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.
