Network test access points (TAPs) are hardware tools that allow you to access and monitor your network. TAPs are purpose-built hardware devices that let you see every bit, byte and packet.®

AggregatorTAPs are used to capture 100% full duplex traffic that can then be sent to multiple monitoring appliances to analyze your network.

The Universal functionality on this TAP supports aggregation, regeneration/SPAN, tap ‘breakout’ and bypass modes, allowing you to fully deploy and manage your monitoring and security appliances and guarantee network uptime.

  • Scalable Modular TAPs System:
    • 2U holds up to 12 TAPs – backplane filtering within TAP row.
    • 1U holds up to 4 TAPs – backplane filtering between TAPs and port.
  • Management and Non-Management Options:
    • Management Card: Ethernet with GUI – and – Serial with CLI controller.
    • Non-management chassis available; (management card can be added at later date).
  • Port Mapping: filter allows granular selection of network traffic at layers 2, 3, and 4 of packet to provide monitoring and security tools only to the traffic they need.
  • Multi-Tier Filtering Supports: MAC, VLAN, IP, DSCP, TCP, UDP.
  •  Media Conversion: Fiber (SX, LX, ZX) to copper (TX) – or copper (TX) to fiber (SX, LX, ZX). Short range fiber (SX) to long range fiber (LX or ZX).
  • Dual internal AC or DC power supplies.
  • TAP modules are hot swappable, fully configurable and interchangeable.
  • Accommodates GT legacy modular TAPs.
  • Network Failsafe recognizes power outages and automatically closes the relay circuitry in less than 8 milliseconds then reconnects the two network devices connected to Ports A & B.
  • Supports jumbo frames and passes physical errors.
  • Packet slicing and packet injection (aggregate mode for copper network ports).
  • 100% secure and invisible; no IP address, no MAC address; cannot be hacked.
  • Tested and Certified.
  • Made, tested and supported in USA.
