Network Instruments nTAP 10/100/1000 Copper

The 10/100/1000 Copper nTAP includes a connection to either side of the full-duplex link under test and a standard full-duplex analyzer connection. All copper nTAPs replicate the full-duplex signal from the network, sending one signal back to the network and the other signal to the monitoring device, which is required to be equipped with a dual-receive capture card.

As with all nTAPs, 10/100/1000 Copper nTAPs are passive, full-duplex monitoring devices, offering complete visibility into the network regardless of traffic levels. nTAPs work with the leading security and network management tools so you can quickly and easily deploy them into the network. And once you install an nTAP, you never need to bring down the link to connect a monitoring device.

All copper nTAPs are transparent, which means you can monitor critical links without data stream interference. Even if power to the nTAP fails, copper nTAPs provide continuous network data flow. Copper nTAPs also work well with redundant-enabled devices. So if the link on one side of the nTAP goes down, the nTAP will automatically bring down the other link, allowing the corresponding device to switch over to a redundant link.
