Netoptics GigaBit TX to SX Tap P/N: CVT-GCU/SX Reviews | Network Tap Reviews Fiber Copper Gigabit Ethernet

By: Netoptics GigaBit TX to SX Tap P/N: CVT-GCU/SX

Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX Tap simplifies connecting SX fiber monitoring and security devices to GigaBit copper network links. Convert TX to SX and tap into the link with one device, reducing cost and complexity at the same time. GigaBit TX to SX Taps support passive monitoring of GigaBit links at 1000 Mbps.

For superior reliability, the GigaBit TX to SX Tap features Link Fault Detect which gives the devices connected to the Tap critical information about link status. If either side of the bi-directional link fails, the Tap immediately communicates the fault to both devices, reducing the time required to activate a redundant path.

Transparent Access

GigaBit TX to SX 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.

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 GigaBit TX to SX 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.
