Dualcomm ETAP-3105 is a GbE copper Network Regeneration TAP for use with a 10/100/1000Base-T link.

ETAP-3105 supports Failsafe-Bypass by which the two inline ports of ETAP-3105 will fail over automatically to maintain link connectivity when ETAP-3105 loses its power. As such, ETAP-3105 can be used for deployment in a critical link path in a network.

When a link goes down on either side of the ETAP-3105, the link on the other side of the ETAP-3105 will go down automatically. This feature is usually desirable or required for high availability deployment to reduce the time for activating a redundant link path in a network.

ETAP-3105 provides an aggregation monitor port and a pair of non-aggregation monitor ports for outputting captured inline traffic. The aggregation monitor port outputs a copy of the inline traffic in both directions. Each non-aggregation monitor port outputs a copy of inline traffic in only one direction. Using the pair of non-aggregation monitor ports is usually preferred for high data throughput situations to avoid possible packet loss due to port oversubscription.

ETAP-3105 is compatible with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which is capable of passing PoE inline power between two copper inline ports. As such a connected PoE powered device (e.g., a PoE IP phone) can still receive the inline power from its PoE capable link partner such as a PoE switch.

ETAP-3105 can be rack-mounted with the optional mounting hardware kit (Model No. RMKIT-1000), which can be purchased separately.
