Net Optics 8x1 OC-3 Regeneration Taps solve the key physical layer challenges of multi-device monitoring for OC-3 networks. For a better picture of network health, these Taps connect up to eight different network management and security devices at any single OC-3 network location.

One Tap, No Idle Resources

Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regeneration Tap. Maximize resources and save on access points when multiple devices can monitor link traffic simultaneously through a single Regeneration Tap. Secure, passive access for multiple devices simply means a better return on monitoring investments. 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.
