Abstract: A non-intrusive method to monitor a digital network, the method comprising using a non-intrusive element, connecting to one or more differential lines carrying digital communication on a digital network without physically altering the one or more differential lines or introducing another network device. The method further comprises monitoring the digital communication using the non-intrusive element, capturing a portion of the digital communication using the non-intrusive element, and sending the captured portion of the digital communication to a network analyzer to analyze the captured portion.

Abstract: It is an exemplified object of the present invention to provide a media converter so shaped that it may prevent damages and disconnections of an optical fiber cable and facilitates handling of the cable. A media converter of one aspect of the invention includes a converter part, connected to a first medium and an optical fiber cable as a second medium, for converting a signal between the first and second media, and an accommodation part for accommodating the optical fiber cable while maintaining a predetermined curvature.
