Conversion nTap 10/100/1000

Conversion nTap 10/100/1000 Notes:

The 10/100/1000 Copper to Optical Conversion nTAP includes a connection to either side of the full-duplex link under test as well as copper and optical standard full-duplex analyzer connections (only one analyzer connection can be utilized at once).

The optical analyzer connection is available with SFP modules that convert data from a copper link to a single-mode or multimode interface.

The 10/100/1000 Copper to Optical Conversion nTAP replicates the copper signal and sends one signal back to the network. The other signal is either sent to the copper full-duplex analyzer or converted into an optical signal and sent to the optical analyzer, which is required to be equipped with a dual-receive capture card.

Compatibility

• Network/protocol analyzers
• Security monitoring devices
• Forensic tools
• Remote monitoring appliances
• RMON probes, and more

Technology

• 10/100/1000 Copper to Optical Conversion nTAPs transfer network data at line rate from 10 Mb, 100 Mb, and 1000 Mb full-duplex links to either a copper or optical monitoring device
• Conversion nTAPs can be permanently deployed without interfering with network performance or introducing a point of failure
• Conversion nTAPs provide continuous network data flow, even if power to the nTAP fails
• Because nTAPs are not addressable devices, they cannot be the target of a hack or virus attack
• Three conversion nTAPs can be mounted in a single 1U rack panel

nTAP Advantages

• Economical to install
• Provide full visibility into full-duplex links
• Will not block error packets
• Compact design
• Failover redundancy compatible
• Meets international RF emission standards
