Get total traffic visibility for monitoring and security devices by placing Net Optics E3 Taps on critical network links. The E3 Taps support passive monitoring at 34.368 Mbps of any protocol carried by channelized or unchannelized E3, including ATM, Frame Relay, and more.

Transparent Access

The E3 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.

Simply Plug It In

All network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap.

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 physical layer errors.

Reliability

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics E3 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.
