The 10/100 Copper nTAP offers a standard Ethernet input connection, a standard Ethernet output connection and a full-duplex analyzer connection.

All copper nTAPs replicate the full-duplex signal from the network, sending one signal to the analyzer and the other signal back to the network. The 10/100 Copper nTAP can support link speeds up to 200 Mbps.

As with all nTAPs, the 10/100 Copper nTAPs are passive, full-duplex monitoring devices, offering complete visibility into your network regardless of traffic levels. By permanently installing nTAPs, you never need to bring the link down to attach an analyzer or other device. nTAPs work with the leading security and network management tools, so you can quickly and easily deploy them into your network.

All copper nTAPs are transparent, which means you can monitor your critical links without data stream interference. Even if power to the nTAP fails, copper nTAPs guarantee continuous network data flow. Copper nTAPs also work well with redundant-enabled devices. So if one side of the nTAP link should fail, the other side can take action by signaling the connected device to switch to a redundant link.

Compatibility

Copper nTAPs are compatible with:

• Network/protocol analyzers
• Security monitoring devices
• Forensic tools
• Remote monitoring appliances
• RMON probes, and more

Technology

• 10/100 Copper nTAPs support full-duplex passive monitoring up to 200 Mbps anywhere on the network
• nTAPs can be permanently deployed without interfering with network performance or introducing a point of failure
• Copper nTAPs guarantee continuous network data flow, even if power to the nTAP fails
• Since nTAPs are not addressable devices, they cannot be the target of a hack or virus attack
