Cubro's Advanced Copper Bypass TAP is a network device designed to improve business continuity and reduce IT network downtime. It operates as a fail-safe access point for in-line active security appliances such as Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW). The Advanced Copper Bypass TAP can function independently or in combination with a Cubro Packetmaster, offering flexibility in network configurations. When used with a Packetmaster, it allows for bypassing multiple links connected to sensitive devices like firewalls. This modular concept aims to reduce costs and provide adaptability in network setups.
