Net Optics Introduces 10/100/1000BaseT Tap; Multi-Speed GigaBit Copper Tap Offers Greater Flexibility.SUNNYVALE Sunnyvale, city (1990 pop. 117,229), Santa Clara co., W Calif., near San Francisco; settled 1849, inc. 1912. A city in Silicon Valley, its many manufactures include semiconductors; machinery and instruments; electrical, electronic, and aerospace products; , Calif. -- Net Optics optics, scientific study of light. Physical optics is concerned with the genesis, nature, and properties of light; physiological optics with the part light plays in vision; and geometrical optics with the reflection and refraction of light as encountered in the study introduces a 10/100/1000 GigaBit Copper Tap that provides total traffic visibility for 10, 100, and 1000BaseT monitoring devices. This Tap features Link Fault Detect(TM)(LFD LFD Laufend (German: current) LFD Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) LFD Left for Dead (band) ), which gives the devices connected to the Tap critical information about link status. If either side of the bi-directional link fails, the Tap immediately communicates the fault to both devices. The 10/100/1000BaseT Tap either auto-negotiates speed and duplexing See duplex printing, duplexed system and full-duplex. parameters or they can be set via an external DIP switch (Dual In-line Package switch) A set of tiny toggle switches built into a DIP, which is mounted directly on a circuit board. The tip of a pen or pencil is required to flip the switch on or off. Remember! Open is "off." Closed is "on." . Front-panel LEDs indicate speed, link, and data status. Any network that has been in existence long enough to have acquired legacy devices has network management and security devices designed to work at specific link speeds. To maximize this investment, the network managers want to continue using 10/100BaseT devices as the network evolves to gigabit speeds. The 10/100/1000BaseT Tap provides passive access to network traffic at three speeds to accommodate all legacy equipment and newer gigabit devices. The 10/100/1000BaseT Tap establishes a permanent passive access port without introducing a point of failure or disturbing other network connections. The Tap does not have an IP address so that monitoring devices connected to the Tap are isolated from the network and secure from attacks. However, the monitoring device still sees all full-duplex Capable of transmitting and receiving over the same channel simultaneously. In pure digital networks, this is achieved with two pairs of wires. In analog networks or in digital networks using carriers, it is achieved by dividing the bandwidth of the line into two frequencies, one for traffic, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors. For extra uptime protection, Net Optics 10/100/1000BaseT Tap offers redundant power supplies. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the secondary power source. The Tap is also part of Net Optics Cables Included program and comes with all network and monitor cables in the box at no additional charge.
