The 10 Gb Optical nTAP offers a standard, multimode, SC-type input connection; a standard multimode, SC-type output connection; and a full-duplex analyzer connection. The 10 Gb Optical multimode nTAPs will support 1 Gb or 10 Gb transmission speeds.

Optical nTAPs split the full-duplex signal from the network into two signals, sending one signal to the monitoring device and the other signal back to the network. Choose between signal split ratios of 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, and 90/10 depending on your network requirement. Optical nTAPs also require no power to operate and can transmit up to 20,000 Mbps (10,000 DTE & 10,000 DCE) through the full-duplex analyzer connection.

As with all nTAPs, Single-Channel 10 Gb Optical nTAPs are passive, full-duplex devices, offering complete visibility into your network regardless of traffic levels. nTAPs are transparent, allowing you to monitor your critical links without data stream interference. And by permanently installing nTAPs, you never need to bring the link down to attach an analyzer or other device.

Every nTAP works with the leading security and network management tools, so you can easily deploy them into your network.

Compatibility

Optical nTAPs are compatible with:

• Network/protocol analyzers
• Security monitoring devices
• Forensic tools
• Remote monitoring appliances
• RMON probes, and more

Technology

• Single-Channel 10 Gb Optical nTAPs support full-duplex monitoring on links up to 10 Gigabit speed
• nTAPs can be permanently deployed without interfering with network performance or introducing a point of failure
• Optical nTAPs guarantee complete visibility into both sides of a full-duplex connection
• Since nTAPs are not addressable devices, they cannot be the target of a hack or virus attack
