G-TAP A Series 2 Equipment

The G-TAP A Series 2 introduces the following TAP models :

■   G-TAP A-TX21
■   G-TAP A-TX21-C
■   G-TAP A-SF21

 

G-TAP A-TX21

o 1 Rack Unit Footprint
o Four Copper Taps (10 M /100 M /1000 M). Each TAP has two network ports and two tool ports.
o 2 x 40 mm Fans
o Front to Rear airflow
o External AC/DC power adapter
o Increased Security (SSH and SNMPv3 support)
o Supported by GigaVUE‑OS
o Manageable from GigaVUE‑FM

Note:   G-TAP A-TX21-C is similar to G-TAP A-TX21 on all physical features and functionalities except that its management port and console port are disabled.

G-TAP A-SF21

o 1 Rack Unit Footprint
o Four SFP /SFP+ (1Gb/10Gb) TAP ports.
o 2 x 40 mm Fans
o Front to Rear airflow
o External AC/DC power adapter
o Increased Security (SSH and SNMPv3 support)
o Supported by GigaVUE-OS.
o Manageable from GigaVUE-FM.

Introducing the G-TAP A Series 2 Chassis

The G-TAP A Series 2 chassis consists of a 1RU, 8.5” wide chassis with management, network, and tool ports at the front and power connections at the rear.

G-TAP A-TX21 Front Chassis shows the ports at the front of the chassis

Note:  For G-TAP A-TX21-C the management port and console port will be disabled.

G-TAP A-TX21 Rear Chassis shows the rear of the chassis which includes fans and power supply modules. This is same for G-TAP A-SF21 as well.

G-TAP A-SF21

G-TAP A-SF21 front chassis have four SFP/SFP+ port groups named as X1,X2,X3,X4,management, console and USB ports. The front chassis also has LEDs and a reset button. The rear of the chassis includes fans and power supply modules and is similar to as shown for G-TAP A-TX21 rear chassis.

Chassis Cooling

G-TAP A Series 2 has one fan module in chassis. The fan module has 2 x 40 mm fans assembly and a PCB assembly with protection mechanism on main board . The fan assemblies will plug into the main board directly. The chassis is designed for front to back airflow with fans on the rear of the chassis drawing cool air from the front

The fans would run at 50 percentage of maximum RPM at the start of chassis . The temperature sensor has unique thresholds such as ;Start Ramp, Max Speed, OverTemp and Shutdown. If temperature is higher than the threshold, the software would shut down the chassis. If a removed or a failed fan tray is running on the system, then the software will detect a temperature rise and trigger the shutdown at the appropriate measurement.
