4x MTP Male, 50/50 Split Ratio, 24 Fibers, OM4 100GBASE SR10 TAP Cassette

Traffic Access Point (TAP) is a passive monitoring device that passes traffic from the live network to the monitoring devices and provides a demarcation between the live network and monitoring infrastructure. It is designed for use to effectively monitor network traffic whilst optimising performance, are tools that provide users with an understanding of network flow patterns by splitting traffic for monitoring and security without interrupting network traffic.

Designed to allow traffic to be monitored for security or network performance, the TAP provides a window into your data for security or surveillance, also makes it possible to look at data packets and advise the network administrator on how the network is performing in real time.

Passive Optical TAPs for Traffic Visibility

Completely passive, no electrical power needed

Permanent inline access to network links

Ideal for security applications, network monitoring

 

Working Principle and Line Sequence Inside the Cassette

The optical TAPs permit monitoring of signals within the communications channel by splitting off a fraction of the signal power towards a monitoring device. These modules contain optical splitters, dividing the incoming optical signals into two channels.

 

Fiber TAP Port Relationship

MTP Live and TAP ports providing permanent inline access to network links.

 

 

Fiber Splitter Inside

Fiber optic splitters inside the cassette divide the incoming optical signals into two outputs, for live link traffic and monitoring.
