The Protector Inline Load Balancer allows inline bypass, load balancing aggregation, and grooming of traffic from networks ranging from Gigabit to 10 Gigabit using any of its 24 ports. The Protector is designed to scale to any size deployment for virtually any budget. The 2020 model ships with four fixed LC ports enabled for redirecting traffic from 10 Gigabit networks and the remaining 18 SFP+ ports may be enabled using a license key from VSS Monitoring.The 416 model ships with 8 fixed LC ports for redirecting traffic from 1 Gigabit networks, eight fixed LC ports, and eight SFP ports. All ports are independently controllable and flexible, allowing the operator to designate any port as input, output or a stack port.
