Passive HSSI Tap
Passive HSSI Tap
ImageStream's HSSI tap is used in
passive monitoring applications. As a passive monitoring
device, the HSSI tap does not interrupt the data circuit
when the monitor card is disconnected from the tap.
The HSSI tap provides two HSSI connectors that are used
to connect the line and pass through the full duplex
data traffic. The tap also provides a DB26 interface
for connecting the inverse "Y" tap cable to the monitoring
card.
The HSSI tap presents a high-impedance connection to
each of the two signals in the full-duplex data interface.
The tap acts as a repeater that retransmits each input
signal back out through the tap's output connection.
The tap can drive this output signal across HSSI cabling
over distances of up to 50 feet (15.2 meters). Although
the maximum cable length for a HSSI connection is normally
50 feet, the tap's repeater function makes it possible
to use a 50 foot cable to connect each of the two HSSI
line connections to the tap.
The inverse "Y" tap cable carries data signals from
the tap's DB26 connector to the monitor card, and it
supplies power to the tap. The length of the inverse
"Y" tap cable must be 10 feet (3 meters) or less.
