Maintains Operational Security While Enabling Data Visibility
Secure Seamless OT to IT Communication – No Reverse Path
Data Diode | Air Gap | Secure Transfer
In critical sectors such as energy, transportation, defense, and industrial manufacturing—especially those requiring SIL 3 or 4 safety levels—protecting IT/OT networks from cyberattacks is essential. Implementing a physical air gap between OT and IT systems significantly reduces cyber risks by preventing external access to operational networks. The NEOX PacketRoo addresses this challenge with a galvanically isolated hardware data diode that enforces unidirectional data flow, securely transferring sensor or system data from OT to IT without compromising the air gap. Operators can use the PacketRoo’s diode independently or integrate it with the NEOXSecureFileTransmitter, a secure, vendor-agnostic software for one-way file transfers compatible with Windows and Linux. The PacketRoo is available as a complete bundle or as standalone components, maintaining flexibility while ensuring sealed, tamper-proof, fixed configurations that eliminate post-deployment setup errors. Its robust design makes it ideal for military and civilian applications, enabling scalable, secure, and high-performance OT/IT bridging.
PacketRoo Network Data Diode
The NEOX PacketRoo Network Data Diode is a purpose-built, hardware-enforced security solution designed to maintain a true air gap while enabling unidirectional data transfer from OT to IT environments. Engineered for critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, defense, and manufacturing, PacketRoo offers galvanic isolation and 100% reverse-path protection, preventing any unauthorized access or data leakage. Operating at speeds up to 1Gbps with no packet loss, it guarantees real-time data integrity with link loss detection (LLD) and integrity checks to alert for anomalies during transfers.
The system ensures hardware-based security with a sealed, tamper-proof design, suitable for both civilian and military use, and includes safety screws and security seals for physical access protection. PacketRoo features a Speed Sync function to automatically match the highest common port speed and maintain consistent communication, with both ports always synchronized for optimal performance. The pre-configured DIP switch setup eliminates configuration errors post-deployment, reinforcing its fail-safe design philosophy.
PacketRoo supports unidirectional file transfers using the NEOX SecureFileTransmitter software, compatible with Windows, Linux, and even third-party data diodes, making it a vendor-agnostic solution. Whether deployed alone or bundled, it provides a high-performance, scalable, and cyber-resilient architecture for secure OT/IT bridging. Its air gap assurance significantly reduces exposure to cyber threats while enabling operational data to flow securely.
With real-time monitoring, fixed configurations, and robust physical and logical isolation, the NEOX PacketRoo stands out as a critical component for secure, one-way communication, meeting the most stringent security standards in high-risk environments. Shop PacketRoo

PacketRoo Data Diode Accessories
The PacketRoo Data Diode is engineered for maximum flexibility and secure deployment across a wide range of environments, from temporary field operations to permanent installations in critical infrastructure. Out of the box, it is fully operational and ready for mobile or standalone use with no additional components required.
For structured setups such as military or industrial data centers, PacketRoo can be cleanly installed into a standard 19” server rack using a dedicated mounting frame that accommodates multiple units side by side. The rackmount frame mounting kit, available as an accessory, ensures secure, professional, and space-efficient installation.
For field or industrial scenarios where rack space is unavailable, PacketRoo supports DIN top-hat rail mounting using a TS35/7.5 DIN rail clip, also available as an accessory. This clip allows 180° rotation, making it easy to align ports to suit space constraints or front-access requirements—particularly beneficial in compact control cabinets or outdoor enclosures.
Every aspect of PacketRoo’s design focuses on secure, scalable, and tamper-resistant deployment. Whether in mobile applications, sensitive military networks, or mission-critical OT/IT infrastructure, PacketRoo offers unmatched adaptability without compromising on performance or security. Combined with its sealed, tamper-proof construction and galvanic isolation, PacketRoo provides a true air-gapped, hardware-enforced unidirectional solution that supports secure, fixed installations while maintaining ease of use and consistent reliability in any environment.
