IXIa 10/100/1000 MB Copper Regeneration Taps

Ixia 10/100/1000 MB Copper Regen Taps solve the key physical-layer challenges of multi-device monitoring for 10 MB, 100 MB or 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) copper networks. For a complete picture of network health, these taps connect up to sixteen different network management and security devices at any single Ethernet network location. Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regen Tap. Maximize resources and save on access points when multiple devices can monitor link traffic simultaneously through a single Regen Tap.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 errors.For extra uptime protection, Ixia 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.

• Secure - no way for the device to be compromised or brought down by external threats
• Does not modify traffic - tools see real copies of the packets from the network
• Cost effective - far lower cost than network packet brokers
• "Plug and Play" - does not require costly device management and configuration time
• Copper and Fiber (1G and 10G) options available

• RG-CU3 / RG-CU3-DC
• RG-CU3-IL / RG-CU3-IL-DC
