Net Optics GigaBit Fiber SFP Port Aggregator Tap TPA-LX5-SFP - tap splitter - Gigabit Ethernet

Net Optics GigaBit Port Aggregator Taps with SFP Monitor Ports provide ultra-efficient access to critical links. This pioneering technology enables any two monitoring devices to simultaneously monitor a full-duplex link - using only one NIC per device. Typically, full-duplex monitoring with a network tap requires two NICs - one interface for each side of the tapped full-duplex connection. The GigaBit Port Aggregator Tap combines and regenerates these streams, sending all aggregated data out two passive monitoring ports. The best part of this innovation is the generous buffers that ensure traffic isn't dropped during bursts.

Net Optics GigaBit Port Aggregator Tap is a simple plug-and-play solution addressing the fact that many monitoring systems only offer a single channel NIC, limiting full-duplex visibility. The GigaBit Port Aggregator Tap with SFP Monitor Ports requires the purchase of one or two SFP conversion kits. For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Even if power is lost and reapplied, the network is not affected.
