nTAP Two-Channel Optical Network TAP
Connects to either side of two full-duplex links under test
Two-Channel Optical nTAP Overview
The Two-Channel Optical nTAP includes a connection to either
side of two full-duplex links under test, and two standard full-duplex
analyser connections. 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.
Two-Channel Optical nTAP Deployment
Use the Two-Channel Optical nTAP to connect up to two full-duplex
optical links. Then attach optical monitoring devices to the nTAP.
To successfully analyse the full-duplex link, the monitoring devices
must be equipped with a dual-receive capture card.
