Network TAPs

The copper TAP’s link failure propagation allows an instant switchover to the secondary link, ensuring 100% network uptime when network elements fail. All USR TAPs are totally fault-tolerant, non-intrusive and invisible to the network making them ideal for real-time monitoring of traffic between critical network devices such as switches, routers and firewalls. Permanent installations eliminate need for continual network interruptions after installation, while portable USB options are convenient for troubleshooting in the field. The fault-tolerant design will help ensure that network performance and integrity will not be affected by power loss.

USR gigabit ethernet TAPs capture full-duplex ethernet links in a combined single stream of data, offer dual monitoring ports for multiple analyzers, as well as a span mode to send 3 copies of incoming traffic to up to 3 tools, as well as the option for breakout mode for dual-receive tools and individual TX and RX streams. The new USR portable gigabit ethernet aggregation TAP with USB monitoring provides a compact and convenient tool for field testing and troubleshooting that easily fits with your laptop into a carrying case or backpack.
