P1GCCB Tap Overview

The portable/rack-mount ​ B reakout TAP​ is ideal for ​ n etwork monitoring​ and ​ t roubleshooting​ . It can be easily
installed into ​ a ny copper 10/100/1000M​ . Once installed, the ​ P 1GCCB ​ w ill enable you to connect monitoring probe to
troubleshoot and analyze your network segments without dropping any packets.

Using two​ straight through ​ E thernet cables, connect ports [A]​ and ​ [ B]​ of the ​ P 1GCCB between​ the ​ t wo
●
live network devices​ where monitoring is desired. Again, with ​ N O POWER to the TAP​ verify network traffic
is flowing. Traffic will flow with no power to the tap.
If traffic does not flow​ , then we need to ​ v erify network speeds and duplexing​ . In 10M and 100M
