Copper TAPs provide complete access and visibility into your network by creating an exact copy of full-duplex 10M/100M/1G/10G traffic at wire speed with no impact to the network link. Copper TAPs introduce no point of failure to the network. They are designed for redundant powering, which allows a second power supply to activate if the first were to become unavailable. In case of complete power loss, Copper TAPs guarantee that the link remains operational by instantly switching to a fully passive mode.
To maintain the network connection and prevent any interruption in traffic flow, all Active Copper TAPs feature the No Break fail-safe functionality — a quick switching mechanism which ensures a very short recovery time of the network link, thanks to the use of high-speed relays, and allowing network traffic to pass through the TAP even when power is disrupted.
