Copper Tap Port Aggregator

Copper Tap Port Aggregator – works as full duplex or port aggregation mode for 10/100/1000M speeds.

Copper taps comes with optional accessories for rack mount and power chassis.

Keysight's 10/100/1000 Copper Tap Port Aggregator provide ultra-efficient access to critical links. This pioneering technology enables any two devices to simultaneously monitor a full-duplex link — using only one NIC per device.

Typically, full-duplex monitoring with a network tap requires two NICs, one interface for each side of the tapped full-duplex connection (or a dual channel NIC). The Copper Tap Port Aggregator combines and regenerates these streams, sending all aggregated data out two separate passive monitoring ports.

Simple Deployment

Copper Tap Deployment

Our Tap Port Aggregator is a simple plug-and-play solution addressing the fact that many monitoring systems, including most software based solutions, only offer a single channel NIC, limiting full-duplex visibility.

While adding a second NIC can help maintain data integrity and visibility, there is a trade-off in flexibility and ease-of-use. An operating system and NICs that enable binding are often required to achieve the same functionality of the Tap Port Aggregator. In contrast, the Tap Port Aggregator requires no additional components or configuration on the monitoring devices.
