Permanent Inline Monitoring and Analysis on Your 10 Gig Single-mode Fiber Network

The USRobotics 10 Gigabit Fiber Taps provide an easy method to rapidly and effectively deploy analysis tools to observe and monitor traffic non-intrusively between two devices on a fiber network. By design, fiber taps are totally passive, fault-tolerant, and invisible to the network which means they will not affect network performance or integrity and can be trusted for permanent installations on a fiber network that require a dedicated port mirror.. These rock solid devices are ideal for real-time monitoring and analysis of any traffic between critical network devices such as switches, routers and firewalls and continue to pass errors that aren't seen using SPAN ports. Topology independent, the taps can be used for ATM, Gigabit, OC3-OC48, or SONET protocols and are available for both Single-mode and Multimode fiber networks.

Monitoring & Analysis

Captures and delivers a copy of all traffic to any analysis tool
100% visibility into the network - including VLAN tags
View all traffic on both sides of full duplex links
Reduces degradation of switch performance due to port mirroring
View Layer 1 and 2 errors such as runts and CRC errors not seen when performing network monitoring using SPAN ports
Full duplex monitoring
Best method to measure network link's performance
Great for network analysis and troubleshooting, IDS and monitoring applications

Network Stability

Ideal for 24x7 permanent access - eliminating the need to connect tools each time a link needs to be monitored
Non-intrusive way to connect a network tool
Minimize traffic delay
Fault-tolerant design

Secure & Reliable

Passive access means no interference of network traffic
Invisible on the network - no IP address means additional security
No single point of failure
Network traffic will continue to pass uninterrupted
