The Copper Gigabit SPAN Physical Layer Switch increases network visibility and leverages your investment in protocol analyzers, network probes, and other expensive network analysis equipment. Greater visibility into your network and central management accelerates problem resolution, reduces downtime, increases enterprise productivity, and improves ROI.

All Datacom Systems physical layer switches are compatible with all vendor hardware and can be controlled by our free MANAgents™ switch control software, which will allow you to control all of your physical layer switches through a single interface regardless of what network appliances you choose to deploy.

• Leverages up to two network appliances across 8 SPAN/mirror ports in Gigabit Ethernet environments
• Daisy-chain up to four units to access up to 32 SPAN/mirror ports in Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Manage your matrix switch from the same console or browser used by the network appliance
• Central management of matrix switches eliminates the need to travel with portable equipment
• Ideal for networks using distributed network analyzers - save money by deploying and maintaining fewer devices on your network
• Optimal for network access and distribution layer visibility
• Remote deployment speeds problem resolution time
• Allows two protocol analyzers or other network devices to analyze/monitor the same SPAN port
• Easily configured or switched through our free MANAgrents switch control software or directly through the API of most network analyzers
• Conveniently rack-mountable in only 1U (1.72")
