Network Instruments nTaps
Should I use a TAP or a SPAN?
10/100 Copper nTAP
10/100 Copper Copies Fast Ethernet traffic from a full-duplex copper link for a copper monitoring device connects to the full-duplex link under test and an analyzer equipped with a dual-receive capture card.

10/100/1000 Copper nTAP
Copies gigabit traffic from a full-duplex copper link for a copper monitoring device, Auto-negotiates to also support 10 Mb and Fast Ethernet networks and Connects to the full-duplex link under test and an analyzer equipped with a dual-receive capture card.

10/100/1000 Copper to Optical Conversion nTAP
Copies gigabit traffic from a full-duplex copper link for a copper or optical monitoring device, connects to the full-duplex link under test, and a copper or optical analyzer equipped with a dual-receive capture card.

10/100/1000 Aggregator nTAP
Transfers network traffic from a full-duplex copper link to a copper analysis or security device. The 10/100/1000 Aggregator nTAP efficiently copies full-duplex traffic and aggregates the traffic into a single stream to any analysis or security device with a single-receive capture interface.
Aggregator nTAPs provide greater protection than a SPAN port against packet loss on low-utilization networks. Choose from a 256 MB or 512 MB buffer.

10/100/1000 Aggregator Conversion nTAP
Transfers network traffic from a full-duplex copper link to a copper or optical analysis or security device. Aggregator nTAPs provide greater protection than a SPAN port against packet loss on low-utilization networks. Choose from a 256 MB or 512 MB buffer.
To connect to an optical device, the nTAP will need SFP modules (sold separately).

One-Channel Optical Fiber nTAP
Copies traffic from one full-duplex optical link for one optical monitoring device, Connects to the full-duplex link under test and an analyzer equipped with a dual-receive capture card, and is available in both gigabit and 10 gigabit configurations.
More Info...
Two-Channel Optical Fiber nTAP
Copies traffic from two full-duplex optical links for two optical monitoring devices, connects to two full-duplex links under test and two analyzers equipped with a dual-receive capture card, and is available in both gigabit and 10 gigabit configurations.
More Info...
Three-Channel Optical Fiber nTAP
Copies traffic from three full-duplex optical links for three optical monitoring devices, connects to three full-duplex links under test and three analyzers equipped with a dual-receive capture card, and is available in both gigabit and 10 gigabit configurations.
