Passive Tap - Passive Optical Splitter and Fiber optic Passive Network Tap

Get six times the traffic visibility for monitoring and security devices by connecting a Net Optics 6 Station GigaBit Fiber Tap to up to six critical network links. The all-optical design of the 6 Station 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 6 Station GibaBit Fiber Taps establish permanent passive access ports for up to six monitoring devices 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.

Compact Connectivity

Occupying only one rack unit, the streamlined 6 Station GigaBit Fiber Tap connects up to six monitoring devices to six different links. 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, 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.
