Observer Network TAPs
Simple and Effective
Network TAPs, part of the Observer Platform, make data access easy. Install sturdy, reliable nTAPs from VIAVI Solutions on critical links for round-the-clock access to traffic without disrupting data flow or wasting time.
Network TAPs are passive devices; traffic keeps flowing even when power doesn't. With streamlined form factors and an array of configuration options, nTAPs are the smart choice for feeding network analyzers, monitoring tools, and security devices – all while decreasing the risk of dropped data.
Quick to deploy and economical to implement, our network TAPs provide important devices the visibility they need.
