Media Converter Network Taps
Gigabit 1x1 LX-TX Fiber Tap
Gigabit 1x1 LX-TX Fiber Tap
Network Tap group: Converter Taps
The diagram shows how the fail safe media converter network Tap sits inline on any network providing an exact copy of the passing network traffic to a network analyzer or IDS device.

The Gigabit 1X1 LX to TX, fiber to copper converter Tap allows the uninterrupted pass through of full duplex data over standard singlemode fiber cable. Decoding the optical signals this device re-clocks the data and electronically replicates an exact copy (including line errors) to two transmit-only RJ45 monitoring ports. A user is therefore able to monitor a full duplex gigabit singlemode (1310nm) network with a gigabit copper device thereby reducing the costs to monitor a high-speed singlemode link and increasing the ROI on any copper based IDS or Analyzer.

In re-clocking the signal the Gigabit LX-TX Tap maximizes transmission quality and power throughput on both the network and monitoring streams. Multiple LEDs indicate power, link and activity status for easy installation and troubleshooting with connected network equipment.

Gigabit 1x1 TX-SX Converter Tap
Gigabit 1x1 TX-SX Converter Tap
Network Tap group: Converter Taps
The diagram shows how the fail safe media converter network Tap sits inline on any network providing an exact copy of the passing network traffic to a network analyzer or IDS device.

The Gigabit 1X1 TX to SX, copper to fiber converter Tap allows the uninterrupted pass through of full duplex data over standard UTP Cat 5 cable. Decoding the network signals this device reclocks the data and electronically replicates an exact copy (including line errors) to two transmit-only multimode monitoring ports. A user is therefore able to monitor a full duplex gigabit TX stream with a multimode monitoring device thus leveraging the monitoring flexibility and improving ROI for the MM card on the IDS and / or Analyzer.

In addition the Gigabit TX-SX Tap reclocks the data so as to maximize the signal quality and power throughput on both the network and monitoring streams. Multiple LEDs indicate power and link status for easy installation and troubleshooting with connected networking equipment.

Gigabit 1x8 LX-SX Fiber Tap
Gigabit 1x8 LX-SX Fiber Tap
Network Tap group: Converter Taps
The diagram shows how the fail safe 1xN Tap sits inline on any network providing multiple exact copies of all network traffic to N number of network analyzer or IDS devices.

The Gigabit 1X8 fiber Tap allows the uninterrupted pass through of duplex data over one singlemode fiber network. Decoding the optical signals, this device reclocks the data and electronically replicates multiple exact copies (including line errors) to 16 transmit-only multimode monitoring ports. A user is then able to monitor a full duplex singlemode (1310nm) network with up to 8 multimode network analyzer or IDS devices thus enabling multiple forms of network analysis and security detection on any one link at one time.

In addition, multiple monitoring port regeneration taps reclock the data to maximize the signal quality and power throughput. Multiple LEDs indicate power and link status for easy troubleshooting with connected equipment.
