AMG Systems has introduced its Secure-Net SFP carrier, an SFP-based IP-level device that offers 128-bit encryption for traffic over any IP network.

The Secure-Net SFP carrier is a plug-and-play SFP-based IP-level network security device that encrypts traffic over any IP network.

This device can reportedly host most standard MSA-compliant 100Mb or 1Gb SFP modules.

AMG Systems: enveloping a wide variety of SFPs

The Secure-Net SFP carrier is said to transparently envelope a wide variety of SFPs, enabling full reuse of existing equipment and easy deployment across various infrastructure types, including both fiber and copper lines. 

AMG Systems has articulated that the SFP carrier is easy to use with standard MSA-compatible SFP ports on AMG switches, media converters and third-party devices, including switches, routers and servers from other manufacturers.

This is said to remove the need for external power, saving space and reducing cabling costs.

The Secure-Net SFP carrier reportedly supports end-to-end static IPsec in transport mode for highly secure 128-bit AES-GCM-ESP encrypted network links in both point-to-point and multipoint deployments.
