The USRobotics 10 Gigabit Fiber Tap provides an easy method to rapidly and effectively deploy analysis tools to observe and monitor traffic non-intrusively between two devices on a fiber network. By design, fiber tap is totally passive, fault-tolerant, and invisible to the network which means it will not affect network performance or integrity and can be trusted for permanent installations on a fiber network. This rock solid device is ideal for real-time monitoring and analysis of any traffic between critical network devices such as switches, routers and firewalls and continues to pass errors that aren't seen using SPAN ports. Topology independent, the tap can be used for ATM, Gigabit, OC3-OC48, or SONET protocols.
