What is included?

Fiber taps allow you to make a copy of network traffic as it travels between two network devices. These highly reliable, non-
powered devices are the perfect solution to collect and capture network traffic for application analysis.

Installation

Follow the wiring diagrams shown below. Fiber taps are directional, and use specific inputs and outputs for TX and RX to work
properly. Make sure to clean all connectors with compressed air and clean patch cable connectors prior to installation.
