US Robotics USR4524 Mini Portable Gigabit Ethernet Network Tap
Product Overview:
The USR® Portable Gigabit Ethernet Aggregation TAP with USB Monitoring is a compact and convenient tool for network troubleshooting. Powered by a laptop via USB 3.0, the TAP eliminates SPAN port contention, overcrowding, and configuration errors. The highly efficient TAP combines and processes both the TX and RX data streams into a single data stream without errors, allowing any connected monitoring device (analyzer, IDS, probe) to receive a 2 Gbps data stream at full duplex over a USB 3.0 connection.
Key Features:
- USB Monitoring: Includes one network port and one unidirectional USB 3.0 monitor port.
- Full-Duplex Gigabit: Enables network troubleshooting and testing in a compact format.
- Power Supply via USB 3.0: No bulky power supply unit required.
- PoE Support: Allows monitoring of Power Over Ethernet networks.
- Broad Compatibility: Supports Windows, Linux, and Mac operating Systems.
Performance Overview:
Monitoring & Analysis:
- Full-duplex monitoring for single-interface monitoring tools on a laptop.
- Wide range of tools available with USB connection.
- Improved network visibility, including VLAN tags.
Aggregation of Data:
- Monitor all network traffic from two different sources.
- Improved network troubleshooting by viewing both sides of a full-duplex conversation.
- Combine both directions of a full-duplex data stream into a single trace file.
- Use individual USB probes for advanced monitoring or hardware reduction.
Network Stability:
- Fault tolerant.
- Eliminates SPAN port contention, overcrowding, and configuration errors.
- Improves overall switch performance by eliminating port mirroring degradation.
- Link Failure Propagation for high-availability networks provides immediate switchover to the secondary link to ensure 100% uptime.
Security:
- Unidirectional and invisible to other devices on the network.
- Prevents access to connected monitoring and analysis Tools.
Easy Installation:
