Transparent Traffic Monitoring with tde’s Optical Monitoring Box

June 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Dortmund, 14. June 2011. tde - trans data elektronik, a leading manufacturer, distributor and system provider of network technology and a pioneer in the field of fibre optic multi-fibre technology offers a new ½ rack unit (U) comprising an optical monitoring box for the control of up to 12 full-duplex fibre-optic lines by passive access - without disturbing the data transmission of the network.

Be it either for Voice over IP, video conferencing or security applications -100 percent system stability is the highest priority for sensitive and critical network connections. An accurate network monitoring is required to ensure a constant availability. The use of the tde Optical Monitoring box allows a continuous monitoring of the network without affecting the data transmission to the network.

"Our new optical monitoring box features a sleek design and makes a very space-saving product, which enables an increased network security monitoring and consequently prevents network downtime," said André Engel, CEO of tde - trans data elektronik GmbH.

Monitoring by splitting

The tde Optical Monitoring box is used to split a fibre optic port into two ports: On the reverse side of the box the monitored fibre optic line is "guided through". In the box, all the fibres are split. Therefore, the additional ports can be connected to monitoring devices that allow a passive monitoring of the network traffic.

The box supports the monitoring of 12 LC duplex ports on a half rack unit (U) at data transmission speeds of 10 Gigabit per second. tde’s Optical Monitoring boxes offer a very good optical performance, so that the available loss budget will not be unnecessarily burdened. There are multimode- and singlemode-versions available and even the combination of both transmission media in a box is possible upon request. As a standard connector the LC-duplex is used but other connectors can be implemented on demand. Due to the usage of MPO/MTP® multi-fiber connectors for instance, a port density of up to 24 duplex ports can be realized.
