Installation Guide for Gigabit TX/SX Tap

Introduction

Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX Tap simplifies connecting FX fiber monitoring and security devices to GigaBit copper network links. .Convert TX to SX and tap into the link with one device, reducing cost and complexity at the same time. .GigaBit TX to SX Taps support passive monitoring of GigaBit links at speeds at 1000 Mbps..

Transparent Access

GigaBit TX to SX Taps establish 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 traf- fic around the clock.

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

Simply Plug It In

Full-duplex monitoring is a snap with supplied cables. .All networking and monitoring cables necessary for plug and play deployment are included with the Tap

Reliability

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX Taps offer redundant power connections. .Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. .Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power source – even if power is lost and reap- plied, there is always zero delay to network traffic.
