The 10G v4x4 Distributed TAP has four 10G fixed media ports and four 10G XFP ports that allow for flexible traffic access. With vStack+, VSS' stacking technology, the v4x4 can also create redundant, low-latency mesh architectures with other DTCS units for dynamic, end-to-end, fault-tolerant network visibility. Users have complete control over how the TAP, operating fully at layers 1 and 2, refines and delivers traffic to their selected passive monitoring tools with VSS' Base feature set.

Secure: Local and remote manageability with user-specific access restrictions, AAA user authentication, and traffic ports without an IP address on the network combine to safeguard your security and performance monitoring tools and access to the DTCS units.

Flexible: Dynamic port type (input, output, or stack) and setting configurability, with pluggable ports, provide adaptable solutions to meet your specific deployment needs.

High Performance: Full line rate throughput, all layer 1 and 2 functionality, and low latency throughput to monitor output guarantee full visibility at line speed.

Reliable: Redundant power supplies, Hyper-fast failover and link re-negotiation for 1G copper networks (vAssure), and 100% passive inline optical access ensure your network never goes down.

Scalable: Up to 63 DTCS devices can be stacked to form a network intelligence optimization layer on one unified platform.
