Introduction
The DS3/E3-PT is a single-port device that provides
an easy method to passively monitor network traffic
flowing between E3, DS3/T3 or STS-1 devices using
your network analysis tools. Using your passive tap,
your network analysis tools can be quickly and effectively
deployed to the point of failure. Typically the passive
tap is installed on a critical E3, DS3/T3 or STS-1 link in
the network where monitoring and analysis capabilities
are important.
DS3/E3-PT features and benefits:
• Optimized: E3, DS3/T3 and STS-1 -compatible
• Full-duplex monitoring
• Non-intrusive passive monitoring device
• Fully isolated Tx and Rx circuitry
• Rack-mountable small form factor
• Standard BNC coaxial connectors
