8-Link Gigabit Copper TAP
C8-1G is a high density Gigabit Ethernet TAP providing secure and fail-safe access for monitoring multiple network links. This 8-Link Gigabit TAP enables the monitoring of 8 full-duplex copper links at 10/100/1000 Mbps in a single RU. C8-1G features redundant power supplies ensuring automatic failover in case of power failure. The integrated Data Diode feature protects the network from any injection of data from the monitor ports.
Once in place, this network TAP allows your monitoring devices to be connected and disconnected as desired, with no impact to the network link.

Complete visibility into your 10M/100M/1G/10G copper networks
Profitap 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. Profitap 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, Profitap 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 Profitap 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.
 | Security Profitap Copper TAPs are non-intrusive, have no IP address, and isolate monitoring devices from the network to ensure complete security. |
 | Visibility Profitap Copper TAPs are completely IEEE 802.3/802.3af, VoIP and PoE compliant, while performing smoothly at distances of over 100 meters. |
 | Fail-Safe Our Copper TAPs introduce no point of failure to the network. They are designed for redundant powering, allowing a second power input to activate if the first were to fail. |
The 8-Link Gigabit Copper TAP can be fitted with serialized tamper-evident seals on request. These seals ensure that the TAP has not been tampered with during transport or operation.
The Data Diode function prevents any accidental or malicious injection of data coming from the monitor ports from entering and disrupting the operational network. Data Diode adds an extra layer of security in deployments with security and monitoring tools.
