Fiber Tap HD8

Introduction
Get total trafc visibility for monitoring and security devices by placing
Net Optics Fiber Tap HD8 on critical network links. The all-optical design
of the Fiber Tap HD8 is optimized and tested for high-performance on ber
networks. Available for both singlemode and multimode ber, the GigaBit and
10 GigaBit Fiber Tap HD8 supports passive monitoring of ber optics links.
Slim Prole
Flat-out, the thinnest 8 station Fiber Tap HD8. The new slim prole of the
Fiber Tap HD8 saves rack space—install up to sixteen Taps in a one rack unit
panel.
All Optical Design
Requiring no power, Fiber Tap HD8 maintains 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
trafc around the clock.
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.
Security and Visibility
Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dra-
matically 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.

Connecting to the Network
1. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate network device using a Duplex
LC cable.
2. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate network device using a Duplex
LC cable.
3. Verify that the Tap Network Ports are cabled in-line between two devices.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 as needed for remaining segements.
Note:________________________________________________________________
The use of Singlemode (8.5µm) or Multimode (50µm or 62.5µm) cabling is
determined by the model purchased.

Connecting to the Monitoring Device
1. Connect to the Monitor Port using a Net Optics custom LC analyzer cable
2. Connect one side of the twin-duplex ber cable into a RX port on the
monitoring device to view one side of the full-duplex link.
3. Connect the other side of the twin-duplex ber cable into another RX port
on the monitoring device to view the other side of the full-duplex link.
4. Verify that the Tap Monitor Port is cabled to the monitoring device.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 as needed for remaining segements.
Note:________________________________________________________________
The connectors on the twin-duplex side of the custom analyzer cable contain
RX connections only. The empty TX sides are present to eliminate cabling
errors and should also be connected to the monitoring device.
