Gig Zero Delay Tap

TP-CU3-ZD

The Gig Zero Delay Tap is

TP-CU3 enhanced with the industry’s first

TRUE Zero Delay technology

for 10/100/1000 speeds

• Competitive products have made progress on keeping links up and avoiding lengthy re-negotiation sequences, but they drop packets when power goes up and down

TP-CU3-ZD vs. TP-CU3

• Same panel size: Three units in 1U frame, or 12 units in 4U frame

• -ZD is slightly longer

• Same function: 10/100/1000 copper half-duplex breakout Tap

• Same modes: Auto-negotiate or fixed speed (same DIP switches)

• Both have dual redundant power supplies

• Different “brick” power supply, AC and DC models

• Storage temperature: 45ºC vs. 70ºC

• Different price

Features and Benefits

• Provides passive access at 10/100/1000 Mbps without data stream interference—even during power up/down—or introducing a point of failure

• Permanent in-line installation without affecting network performance

• Link Fault Detect prevents undetected link failures

• Passes all full-duplex traffic (including errors) from all layers for comprehensive troubleshooting

• No IP address is needed for the Tap or monitoring device, enhancing monitoring security

• Redundant power ensures monitoring uptime

• Fully IEEE 802.3 compliant

• Fully RoHS compliant

Zero Delay Technology

• Industry’s first TRUE Zero Delay technology (no packets lost) for Gigabit speeds

• Battery keeps network ports up for at least 3 hours

• Battery does not power monitor ports – monitoring is lost when power is down

• Internal charge circuitry keeps battery charged

• Automatic battery cycling extends battery life – 3 years expected in the field

• Relays keep network open (like TP-CU3 operation) if the power outage exceeds the battery hold-up time

• Same ZD technology for 10/100, 10/100/1000, and Gigabit speeds, fixed and auto-negotiate
