Installation Guide for Gigabit TX/SX Tap
1
Introduction
Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX Tap simplies connecting FX ber monitoring
and security devices to GigaBit copper network links. Convert TX to SX and
tap into the link with one device, reducing cost and complexity at the same
time. GigaBit TX to SX Taps support passive monitoring of GigaBit links at
speeds at 1000 Mbps.
Transparent Access
GigaBit TX to SX Taps establish 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 traf-
c around the clock.
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.
Simply Plug It In
Full-duplex monitoring is a snap with supplied cables. All networking and
monitoring cables necessary for plug and play deployment are included with
the Tap
Reliability
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX 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 reap-
plied, there is always zero delay to network trafc.
Key Features
Passive, Secure Technology
• Provides passive access at speeds at 1000 Mbps without data stream
interference or introducing a point of failure
• Access GigaBit copper links with SX ber devices without a separate
converter
• Permanent in-line installation without affecting network performance
