Converter Function

         

If you need to monitor optical Gigabit links but your monitoring equipment has only electrical inputs we have the right solution for you. Installed between any two network devices, our TAPs provide permanent and fully passive access points into the network. When needed a monitoring tool can be simply connected to the TAP at anytime. Cubro Gigabit Converter TAPs convert either 1000B-SX (850nm) or 1000B-LX (1310nm) links to 1000B-T monitoring ports. The traffic on the monitoring ports is available separated by direction.

Want to monitor the traffic of an optical Gigabit Ethernet link with your existing monitoring equipment, which features only a 1000B-T electrical input? The 1GE Converter TAP is the right answer for this challenge. With its fully passive connection to the network it doesn´t influence the traffic of the optical network link while still allowing full access to the traffic via the electrical 1000B-T monitoring port.

  • Multimode and Singlemode

The network link can be either in
Multimode (850/1300nm) or Singlemode
(1310/1550nm). By default Cubro 1GE
Converter TAPs are delivered with SC
type connectors. Optional, the units
can also be equipped with FC or LC
connectors – according to your
requirements

  • Number of Monitoring Ports

By default Cubro 1GE Converter TAPs
come with four monitoring ports per
network link (two port per traffic direction).
For parallel monitoring (e.g. monitoring
system plus portable decoder) it is also
possible to double the monitoring ports
exists.

  • Fully passive

Optical Splitters installed at the network
link inputs allow fully passive connection
to the link under test. Thus the network link
is not interrupted even if the power supply
to the TAP fails. Moreover, the splitting ratio
is selectable according to the available
optical power budget.
  • LED Indicators

LED´s on the front panel provide fast and
easy indication of power-, link- and activity
status.

  • Various Cabinet versions available

With the 19” Mount Kit you can build the
portable TAP to flexible Cabinets.
One TAP in 19”, 1U; 2 different TAPs
(SM and MM) to 19” and much more

  • Easy to use and operate

Easy operation and installation. No PC or
software necessary. No bugs,
no software- updates
means more time for your business.

  • Different Power Versions

12VDC, 48VDC and also 230VAC
versions available.
