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
