Net Optics FX to TX Tap simplifies connecting 100Mbps copper monitoring and security devices to FX fiber network links. Convert FX to TX and tap into the link with one device, reducing cost and complexity at the same time. FX to TX Taps support passive monitoring at 100Mbps.

Transparent Access

FX to TX Taps establish permanent passive access ports without introducing a point of failure or disturbing other network connections. These passive Taps deliver full-duplex monitoring with zero impact on network traffic around the clock. Net Optics unique dust cap is tethered to the connector so it is always right where you need it.

Security and Visibility

Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks. However, the monitoring device connected to the Tap still sees all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.

Simply Plug It In

Full-duplex monitoring is a snap with supplied cables. All network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap. Everything you need, right out of the box.

Reliability

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics FX to TX Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power source – even if power is lost and reapplied, there is always zero delay to network traffic.
