Gigabit Fiber Taps, Optical Taps Both SM and MM Passive Optical & Fiber Optic

Redesigned for scalable high-density applications, Net Optics GigaBit Fiber Taps are now super compact. The new slim profile of the GigaBit Fiber Tap saves rack space-install up to six Taps in a one rack unit panel. The all-optical design of the GigaBit Fiber Tap is optimized and tested for high-performance on GigaBit fiber networks. Available for both singlemode and multimode fiber, GigaBit Fiber Taps support passive monitoring of GigaBit links at 1000 Mbps.

All Optical Design

Requiring no power, the GibaBit Fiber 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 traffic around the clock. Net Optics unique dust cap is tethered to the connector so it is always right where you need it.

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 necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap.

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 traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.
