Data Sheet
Flexible SFP TAP
- Our flexible SFP TAPs are intelligent FPGA based mirroring devices for secure and reliable tapping of network data in optical and copper-based networks. These TAPs are looped into the network line to be monitored and route all data traffic without interruption.
- The great advantage of SFP TAPs is that they can be used extremely flexibly in different network types and for different media types due to the simple interchangeability of their SFP transceivers (see compatibility list).
- Our SFP TAPs have redundant power supplies, which guarantees high reliability. They do not have a MAC or IP address, but work on OSI Layer 1, and are therefore not detectable in the network without expensive measurement equipment. Hackers and other attackers thus have no chance, and since the integrity of the outgoing data remains unaltered due to this tapping method, Network TAPs are increasingly used in the areas of network forensics, security and monitoring.
- PacketRaven SFP Network TAPs are designed as portable TAPs, but can also be installed in data centers via a mounting kit in a 19″ mounting frame and support networks up to 1G.
- With PacketRaven Network TAPs you get permanent network access without risk and provide e.g. your monitoring tools with 100% reliable network data – without introducing a single point of failure. Because your network security tool is only as good as the data source!
