Technical and Environmental• Increasing network traffic in global data centers drives

expanding need for network visibility; Networks are now upgrading 40Gbps and 100Gbps speeds

• Low-density passive optical TAPs consume valuable rack space

Procurement and Sourcing• TAPs have left gaps in access offerings: varying media

types with an attractive price left unaddressed

• Streamlined customer processes request single point of purchase for network packet brokers and TAPs

• HD (High Density) Fiber TAP provides

• Scalable deployments for 100Mbps-100Gbps environments

• 100% passive and failsafe optical network access

• Highest tapping density for 40Gbps and 100Gbps Multimode environments

• Flexibility to mix tapping of Singlemode and Multimode links at speeds from 100Mbps-100Gbps in one form factor

• 1RU can have up to:

• 24 TAP modules with LC ports,

• 16 TAP modules with MPO (MTP) ports,

• or a mix thereof

• MPO modules do not require Y-cable for output, providing organized cable management

• Attractive price and thoughtful design
