Description

The 1x1 Gigabit TX to SX, Copper to Fiber converter Tap allows the uninterrupted pass through of full duplex data over standard UTP Cat 5 cable. Decoding the network signals this device reclocks the data and electronically replicates an exact copy (including line errors) to two transmit-only multimode monitoring ports. A user is therefore able to monitor a full duplex gigabit TX stream with a multimode monitoring device thus leveraging the monitoring flexibility and improving ROI for the MM card on the IDS and / or Analyzer.

In addition the Gigabit TX-SX Tap reclocks the data so as to maximize the signal quality and power throughput on both the network and monitoring streams. Multiple LEDs indicate power and link status for easy installation and troubleshooting with connected networking equipment.

For Gigabit copper ethernet networks, vAssure™ reduces normal failover time (300ms-3s) to 50-150ms, which registers as merely noise on the wire, resulting in no link loss or spanning tree reconfiguration. Without vAssure, the convergence time can be several minutes long. A minor outage of a single link can cause a major outage.

LinkSafe™ feature enables copper link failures to be observed by network elements on both sides of the Tap, thereby enabling routers and switches to execute redundancy whenever such failures occur.
