USRobotics new 10/100 Copper Aggregation Tap with traffic injection provides a reliable 
solution for 24x7 capturing of full-duplex Ethernet links in a combined single stream of data 
on a network link with the ability to inject traffic back into the network when needed. This 
tap faultlessly combines and processes both the TX and RX streams of data into a single 
data stream that allows any connected monitoring device (analyzer, IDS, probe) to receive a 
full-duplex stream of data with only one NIC.  With two monitor ports, the combined stream of 
data can be sent to two separate network tools ideal for dual tasks like scanning for network 
discovery or when security devices need to inject traffic back onto the network.  In addition 
redundant power solutions ensure network uptime even when the main power source is 
unavailable making this aggregating tap the ideal solution for secure, stable network traffic.

• Captures and combines traffic from both sides of the network conversation and delivers a copy of 

the combined traffic to the analysis tool(s)

• Two monitor ports allow two devices to simultaneously monitor the same link

• 100% visibility into the network - including VLAN tags

• View all traffic on both sides of full duplex links

• View Layer 1 and 2 errors such as runts and CRC errors

• Full duplex negotiation

• Reduces degradation of  switch performance due to port mirroring

• Best method to measure network link’s performance

• Packet injection

• Maintain network stability with a memory buffer that manages traffic bursts preventing data

overloads and dropped packets

• Ideal for 24x7 permanent access - eliminating the need to connect tools each time a link needs to be

monitored

• Non-intrusive way to connect a network tool

• Fault-tolerant

• Relay Failover

• Minimize traffic delay through the tap

• Invisible on the network

• No single point of  failure*

• Plug and play

• Comes with convenient built-in rackmount for use with optional 1U rack mount kit for up to 3

devices.

• 10/100 BaseT compatible

• Standard RJ45 connectors

• Redundant power supply insures seamless monitoring even if  the main power source is unavailable

• In the event of  a power failure, the tap will continue to pass network traffic

• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) on pairs 4, 5, 7 and 8
