Data Sheet
1G – 400G Multimode Fiber Network TAPs
- Our Multimode Fiber Network TAPs are decoupling elements for the secure and reliable tapping of network data in optical networks.
- These TAPs are looped into the network line to be monitored and transmit the entire data traffic without interruption and without packet loss, while maintaining data integrity.
- Using conventional SPAN ports, also known as mirror ports, on the other hand, can distort the result, as this copying process works in store-and-forward mode and, for example, discards FCS/CRC faulty packets on OSI layer 2 instead of providing these Ethernet frames to the security or monitoring tool.
- Our Network TAPs do not have a MAC or IP address, but work entirely on OSI Layer 1 and cannot be traced in the network without special and expensive measuring equipment.
- Hackers and attackers therefore have no chance. As the integrity of the outgoing data remains unaltered due to this tapping method, our Network TAPs are increasingly used in the areas of network forensics, security and monitoring.
