TACLANE, for tactical local area network, is a family of bulk encryption devices specified by the National Security Agency and manufactured by General Dynamics. The family, all intended for high-speed IEEE 802.3/Ethernet interfaces, is designated KG-175. Some models (TACLANE Classic, TACLANE E-100) are no longer in production, with the current versions either smaller than the original, or able to operate at higher speeds (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet).[1]

It is a derivative of the FASTLANE KG-75 for the earlier high-speed Asynchronous Transfer Model (ATM), Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy telecommunications technologies.
