Modular Fiber TAP System
Tap up to 24 fiber links from 1G to 400G
With up to 24 individual Tap Modules in 1 rack unit of height, the modular fiber tap system optimizes data center rack usage.
Ideal for security, network monitoring and analysis – anywhere that high density and maximum flexibility are required for monitoring multiple fiber links with speeds up to 400Gbps.

This modular passive Tap system provides permanent access for up to 24 links. The flexible design allows tapping fiber links – from 1G up to 400G* Different fiber types and split ratios can be mixed – all in the same high density chassis. Individual Tap Modules are of ruggedized all-metal construction. The chassis can be partially or fully populated with a mix of modules, based on the needs of the location. Impact on network performance is exceptionally low, with latency of <10 ns, and does not affect reliability. Completely passive fault tolerant design. Links stay up even during outage or failure. Provides permanent access into as many as 24 fiber links. *(see datasheet for which modules support which speeds and schema)
Highlights
- Innovative design allows up to 24 individual Tap Modules in 1 rack unit of height – optimizes data center rack usage
- Rugged fireproof metal module housing ensures proper fit of all Tap Modules into chassis
- Integrated rear magnets and alignment pins provide easy swap-outs and“snap-to” alignment for every Tap Module
- Thin film optical couplers and Corning ClearCurve™ fiber ensure predictable insertion loss and maximum stability
- Available in single mode and multimode with LC or MTP/MPO connectors (dependent on topology)
- Cable management tray allows proper cable dressing and adherence to bend radius standards
- Metal handles allow easy installation and convenient cable securing point on every module
- Provides full visibility – passes all full-duplex traffic (including errors) from all layers
- Supports up to 24 of the LC connector Tap Modules or 16 MTP/MPO connector Taps per 1U (or any combination of types)
Benefits
- Flexible – modules are available in custom split ratios and mixed fiber types
- Scalable – add more tap modules as the number of links increases
- Easy to install – individual modules can be added or swapped without interrupting other links
- Cost effective – lower overall cost than fixed tap systems
- Passive and non-powered – no IP Address – 100% secure and immune to remote attacks
- Guaranteed signal integrity – highest quality components used
- Consistent – thin film couplers (most models) deliver stable predictable insertion loss
- Full visibility – passes all full-duplex traffic (including errors) from all layers
