The GigaVUE® 420 is a modular packet-aware Data Access Switch supporting 10/100/1000 & 10Gig Ethernet. GigaVUE-420 aggregates, multicasts, filters, & divides traffic flows across multiple passive monitoring tools. It is a purposebuilt hardware switch capable of full line rate performance and transfer latency of only 6 μsec. Nearly any number of traffic sources may be aggregated, filtered, & then distributed to one or more monitoring tools at any speed. Hardware filters based on any element in the 126-byte header may be enabled to eliminate unwanted packets. The system is managed remotely by telnet or SSH2 & authenticated with TACAC+ or RADIUS.

The GigaPort Expansion adds 4 ports. Each port can be independently set as 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet, or 1000 Base-Sx/Lx/Zx Ethernet with multimode or singlemode SFP.

Optional Accessories:

• SFP (optical transceiver):
  • Sx 850 nm (550Meter)
  • Lx 1310 nm (10km)
  • Zx 1550 nm (40km)

The GigaPort Expansion adds 4 optical splitter ports: can tap two MM or SM FDX fiber links. Split ratio 70/30.

Link TAP Mechanism:

The GigaTAP-Tx adds four RJ-45 ports organized as two pairs; each pair taps a single 10/10/1000 Base-T FDX Ethernet link.

Link TAP Mechanism:

• Electronically repeats the link signals when in ACTIVE mode and port-pairing established.

Optional Accessories:

• SFP (optical transceiver):
  • Sx 850 nm (550Meter)
  • Lx 1310 nm (10km)
