Network TAPs
A network TAP (test access point) is an external monitoring device that mirrors the traffic that passes between two network nodes. A TAP is a hardware device inserted at a specific point in the network to monitor data.
Key Features
- Full transparency allows user to use optical TAPs for all protocols or data rates up to 100 Gbit
- No power supply needed
- Flexible and scalable
- Every used splitter inside the optical TAP is carefully handled
- Insertion loss is measured before the unit leaves to the customer
- Split ratio can be delivered on demand for single mode version
Functions / Benefits
- The OPTOSLIM TAPs passively mirror 100% of network traffic including errors, non-standard network traffic.
- These TAPs rely on passive full duplex fiber optic splitters, which results in non-point-of-failure operation. It requires no power source to operate.
- The OPTOSLIM TAPs give network operators the ability to passively monitor full duplex fiber optic links for a combination of multimode (mm) and/or singlemode (sm).
