Net Optics, Inc. addresses the needs for a flexible solution that allows you to easily monitor 10Gbase-LX4 networks. The primarily SR and LR 10Gigabit based monitoring tools available today can now be leveraged across multiple 10Gigabit fiber networks within your organization. Up to this point, customers had no real way of seeing the traffic on their LX4 networks.
This flexibility is delivered via the use of 10Gigabit XFP monitoring port interfaces within the LX4 Converter Tap chassis. An IT operations staff can now use an existing 10Gigabit monitoring tool to safely baseline and measure the traffic on these LX4 networks. The same tool can now be leveraged across OM2 and OM3 fiber installations.
According to Dennis Carpio, Director of Product Innovation at Net Optics, "This new Converter Tap evolved from working within our partners and customer needs. We've created the only solution for safely and passively monitoring LX4 networks for use with state of the art 10Gigabit monitoring tools."
Available chassis options include LC based 62.5 and 50-micron network port connections for 10Gbase-LX4 cabling, and SR or LR, XFP based monitoring port interfaces. Redundant power supplies ensure uninterrupted operation.
Combined with other Net Optics products, this family of 100% passive Converter Taps create a versatile monitoring access platform (MAP) for improved network visibility and security-threat management across the whole network.
