OC-3 2x1 Regeneration Tap

Net Optics 2x1 OC-3 Regeneration Taps solve the key physical layer challenges of multi-device monitoring for OC-3 networks. For a complete picture of network health, these Taps connect two different network management and security devices at any single OC-3 network location.

Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regeneration Tap. Maximize resources and save on access points when multiple devices can monitor link traffic simultaneously through a single Regeneration Tap. Secure, passive access for multiple devices simply means a better return on monitoring investments.

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 traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.
