Fiber Singlemode OS2 LC - Modular Network TAP

OS2 LC TAP

Fiber TAPs are passive mirroring devices for secure and reliable tapping of network data in optical networks. These TAPs are looped into the fiber optic line to be monitored and route all data traffic without interruption.

Our optical TAPs do not require power, are purely passive components and therefore cannot be detected 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.

But how does it work? Technically, optical TAPs split the light as it arrives and divide it into two fibers. In this case, a large part of the splitted signal remains on the actual network link and the rest is output to a monitoring port for external recording. Highly sensitive prisms are used to couple out the light wave.

Since optical Fiber TAPs are protocol-independent, these devices can be installed in a variety of network media. Thus, these TAPs are available for multimode and also singlemode network types and wavelength as well as network speed do not matter. The data is routed out transparently and loss-free without interfering with the active line.

Due to this splitting technique using a prism, attenuations naturally occur which must be taken into account when selecting the TAP. Fiber TAPs are available in 5 different variations and differ in their split ratio. Available are devices with the “split ratio” 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, 90:10. A typical attenuation value of a 70:30 Fiber TAP is about 2dB on the network side and 6dB on the monitoring ports.

PacketRaven Modular Fiber TAPs are designed for data centers and allow you to equip up to 30 network segments with TAPs using our innovative, modular 1U chassis. They support network speeds from 100Mbps up to 400Gbps.

Without risk you get permanent network access and provide your monitoring and security tools with 100% reliable network data without introducing a single point of failure.

For further technical details, please refer to the data sheet or contact us. We will be happy to assist you in selecting the right TAP.

In addition to our Modular PacketRaven Network TAPs, we also offer Portable Network TAPs. These are, as the name suggests, portable, but can also be installed in one of our 1U rackmount frames.

The data is routed out transparently and loss-free without interfering with the active line.

Due to this splitting technique using a prism, attenuations naturally occur which must be taken into account when selecting the TAP. Fiber TAPs are available in 5 different variations and differ in their split ratio. Available are devices with the “split ratio” 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, 90:10. A typical attenuation value of a 70:30 Fiber TAP is about 2dB on the network side and 6dB on the monitoring ports.

Integrating support for tapping connections that utilize Bi-Directional (BiDi) technology based on Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), some of our TAPs also accommodate both Singlemode and Multimode setups.

PacketRaven Modular Fiber TAPs are designed for data centers and allow you to equip up to 30 network segments with TAPs using our innovative, modular 1U chassis. They support network speeds from 100Mbps up to 400Gbps.

Without risk you get permanent network access and provide your monitoring and security tools with 100% reliable network data without introducing a single point of failure.

For further technical details, please refer to the data sheet or contact us. We will be happy to assist you in selecting the right TAP.

In addition to our Modular PacketRaven Network TAPs, we also offer Portable Network TAPs. These are, as the name suggests, portable, but can also be installed in one of our 1U rackmount frames.

Fiber Secure Modular Network TAP + Data Diode

SECURE TAP

Fiber TAPs are passive mirroring devices for secure and reliable tapping of network data in optical networks. These TAPs are looped into the fiber optic line to be monitored and route all data traffic without interruption.

Our optical TAPs do not require power, are purely passive components and therefore cannot be detected 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.

But how does it work? Technically, optical TAPs split the light as it arrives and divide it into two fibers. In this case, a large part of the splitted signal remains on the actual network link and the rest is output to a monitoring port for external recording. Highly sensitive prisms are used to couple out the light wave.

Since optical Fiber TAPs are protocol-independent, these devices can be installed in a variety of network media. Thus, these TAPs are available for multimode and also singlemode network types and wavelength as well as network speed do not matter. The data is routed out transparently and loss-free without interfering with the active line.

Due to this splitting technique using a prism, attenuations naturally occur which must be taken into account when selecting the TAP. Fiber TAPs are available in 5 different variations and differ in their split ratio. Available are devices with the “split ratio” 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, 90:10. A typical attenuation value of a 70:30 Fiber TAP is about 2dB on the network side and 6dB on the monitoring ports.

PacketRaven Modular Fiber TAPs are designed for data centers and allow you to equip up to 30 network segments with TAPs using our innovative, modular 1U chassis. They support network speeds from 100Mbps up to 400Gbps.

Without risk you get permanent network access and provide your monitoring and security tools with 100% reliable network data without introducing a single point of failure.

This makes our Secure TAPs especially suitable for business-critical applications and high-security areas and CRITIS infrastructures with high requirements for securing sensitive data.
They are 100% compatible with our modular standard TAPs without Data Diode Function and can be installed together in the same chassis. On top of that, they are protocol-agnostic and compatible with all monitoring systems from leading suppliers.
