Aggregation TAPs
Profitap Boosters also operate as speed converters, which allows you to connect tools that support different speeds together. For example, a Booster brings 10M, 100M, and 1G support on Network Packet Brokers and analysis tools that only support speeds of 10G and above.
The Booster In-Line Dual Output Gigabit Copper Aggregation TAP connects 4 x 10/100/1G fail-safe in-line links to two replicated 1/10G output ports.
The Booster SPAN Dual Output Aggregation TAP connects 8 x 10/100/1G out-of-band connections (SPAN) to two replicated 1/10G output ports.
