nTAP One-Channel Optical Network TAP
Split full-duplex signals into two signals
One-Channel Optical nTAP Overview
The One-Channel Optical nTAP includes a connection to either
side of the full-duplex link under test and a standard full-duplex analyser
connection. Optical nTAPs support gigabit single-mode, gigabit
multimode, and 10 Gb single-mode and multimode traffic. LC connections
are standard.
Optical nTAPs split the full-duplex signal from the network
into two signals, sending one signal back to the network and the other
signal to the monitoring device, which is required to be equipped with
a dual-receive capture card. Signal split ratios of 50/50, 60/40, 70/30,
80/20, and 90/10 are available to support your network requirement.
Every nTAP works with the leading security and network management
tools, so you can easily deploy them throughout the network. As with
all nTAPs, optical nTAPs are transparent, allowing you
to monitor critical links without data stream interference. And by installing
nTAPs, you never need to bring the link down to connect a monitoring
device.
One-Channel Optical nTAP Deployment
Place a One-Channel Optical nTAP between two devices of interest
on a full-duplex optical link. Then attach an optical monitoring device
to the nTAP. To successfully analyse the full-duplex link, the
monitoring device must be equipped with a dual-receive capture card.
