The LX to SX Network Tap provides a simple solution to give your SX tools permanent monitoring access to your LX network segments. Two IDS devices, analyzers, or probes can monitor the same segment 24X7 at a single point, eliminating contention for critical fiber links. Redundant power supplies and totally passive, fault-tolerant design maximizes monitoring uptime and ensures network traffic will continue to flow uninterrupted even if power is lost to the tap.

• Permanent In-Line access to Ethernet links - eliminates the need for network connectors to be disconnected and connected each time a segment needs to be analyzed
• Multiple monitoring ports allow you to connect two devices (IDS, Probes, Protocol Analyzers) to the same link for extended visibility into your Ethernet network
• Leverage your existing fiber architecture and save money - Extend the scope of your network analysis by using SX network appliances to monitor or analyze greater distances of LX network segments
• Media conversion taps from Datacom Systems are ideal for Security and Monitoring applications
• Network taps allow you to view the entire 7 OSI layers of network data
• Redundant power supply insures seamless monitoring even if the main power source is lost to the tap
• Fiber tap ports are available in a wide array of split ratios, Multimode (SX) or Single-Mode (LX) configurations
• Optional rack-mount package to mount 2 units (1U)
