Introduction
Net.Optics.10/100BaseT.Taps.supply.mission-critical.networks.with.superior.
network.visibility.and.security.access.The.breakthrough.design.of.the.Net.
Optics.10/100BaseT.Tap.ensures.zero.impact.on.network.trafc.while.main-
taining.uninterrupted.access.for.monitoring.and.security.devices.These.are.the.
world’s.rst.and.only.10/100BaseT.Taps.offering.“zero.delay”.technology
Highly.sensitive.network.locations.can.improve.monitoring.performance.via.
the.innovative.features.of.Net.Optics.Taps.If.power.is.lost.to.other.10/100.
Taps,.the.connected.devices.may.introduce.delays.as.they.detect.the.power.
loss.and.try.to.re-establish.their.link.
Net.Optics’.pioneering.design.ensures.that.any.loss.of.power.to.the.Tap.is.
transparent.to.the.network,.and.does.not.affect.the.ow.of.trafc.through.the.
Tap.–.eliminating.packet.delay.and.loss.as.potential.security.issues.
Simply Plug It In
Full-duplex.monitoring.is.a.snap.with.a.custom.monitoring.cable.that.sends.each.
side.of.the.signal.to.a.separate.NIC.on.the.monitoring.device.All.network.and.
monitoring.cables.are.included.with.the.10/100BaseT.Tap.for.plug-and-play.
deployment
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.trafc.as.if.it.were.in-line,.
including.Layer.1.and.Layer.2.errors
Reliability
For.extra.uptime.protection,.Net.Optics.10/100BaseT.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.
reapplied,.there.is.always.zero.delay.to.network.trafc
