Network TAPs

NETWORK TAPs

Gain visibility into your network

Insight on your network traffic is critical to

meeting customers’ demands for bandwidth,

applications and low latency. Networks must

add more connections, which represent risks to

performance and risks to security if left un-

monitored.

Organizations must enable monitoring while reducing or eliminating risk to network performance and

uptime. However, each additional device for monitoring adds latency and outage risk.

Network test access points (TAPs) are a passive monitoring device that pass traffic from the live

network to the monitoring devices. They also provide a demarcation between the live network and

monitoring infrastructure, enabling organizations to augment their monitoring infrastructure while

reducing risk and preserving network performance. Amphenol Network Solutions TAPs meet this

demand and provide best-in-class density and cable management.

Amphenol Network Solutions TAPs are designed and tested to pass traffic at 1G, 10G, 40G, 100G,

200G & 400G bandwidths with various connector types and split ratios. Amphenol Network Solutions

TAPs use high-quality adapters and connectors to ensure low insertion loss and highest return loss. LC

TAPs monitor ports are color coded to guarantee ease of installation and reduce installation errors.

Benefits

 Cost savings: The density achieved with Amphenol Network Solutions TAPs reduces

floor space costs to deploy TAPs into your network.

 Return on investment: Amphenol Network Solutions TAPs modules are

interchangeable when used with a C2E and/or C2X chassis.



Improved fiber lifespan: Correct cable management practices can ensure your fiber

cable does not fail over time through the development of fractures in the glass.

Key Features

 Modularity: Deploy up to 48 different modules in a 4RU C2E chassis and 32 in the C2X

chassis

 High performance: Passively access data without disrupting network performance or

link state

 Complete visibility: Provides 100% visibility of network traffic including errors,

malicious or non-conforming packets



Flexibility: Deploy single mode, multimode, LC and MPO together in a single chassis



Telcordia compliant: Compliant with all applicable GR- Standards and FOCIS for

intermateability
