Net Optics 8 Station 10/100BaseT Tap

Net Optics 8 Station 10/100BaseT Taps supply mission-critical networks with superior network visibility and security access. The breakthrough design of the 10/100BaseT Tap ensures zero impact on network traffic while maintaining uninterrupted access for monitoring and security devices. These are the world’s first 10/100BaseT Taps offering “Zero Delay” technology.


The efficient 8 Station 10/100BaseT Tap connects up to eight monitoring devices to eight different links, saving rack space, time, and money.


Zero Delay™ - A Net Optics Breakthrough


Highly sensitive network locations can improve monitoring performance via the innovative features of Net Optics Taps. If power is lost to other 10/100 Taps, the connected devices may introduce delays as they detect the power loss and try to re-establish their link.


Net Optics’ engineering breakthrough ensures that any loss of power to the Tap is transparent to the network, and does not affect the flow of traffic through the Tap – eliminating packet delay and loss as potential security issues.


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.

Reliability

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics 10/100BaseT 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 reapplied, there is always zero delay to network traffic.
