Permanent Inline Monitoring and Analysis on your 1/10/25 Gigabit Multi-mode Fiber Network

The USR 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 up to 100G. By design, fiber TAPs are totally passive, fault-tolerant, invisible to the network, with no power requirements so they will not affect network performance or integrity and can be trusted for permanent installations on a fiber network. These rock solid devices are ideal for real-time monitoring and analysis of full-duplex 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 OS1-2 Single-mode and OM1-4 Multi-mode 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
