Connecting Ethernet TAP probe to network

The Ethernet TAP probe can connect directly to a network using twisted pair (10/100BaseT) cables.

To connect to twisted pair interface

  1. Plug one end of the supplied RJ-45 cable (p/n 600-11112) into the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet TAP probe.
  2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable into the RJ-45 connector of your twisted pair network.

To connect to a thinwire or thickwire network, use a converter hub that accepts the twisted pair (10/100BaseT) cable from the Ethernet TAP probe and converts to the thinwire (10Base2) or thickwire (10Base5) cable from your network.
