General

1.1
This procedure describes Pretium EDGE
Tap Modules, which are available for both multimode
and single mode applications. Compatible with all
Pretium EDGE rack-mountable connector housings,
TAP modules have twelve front-mounted shuttered
LC adapters and two MTP
(Figure 1).
1.2
The module contains 12 fiber optic splitters which divide the incoming optical signals into two
outputs, one for live link traffic and one for monitoring. The monitor traffic is routed via the "TAP"-labeled
MTP connector to a monitoring device which filters the data and sends it to various software tools for
analysis, where it is then viewed in application-layer software for security threats, performance issues, or
system optimization.
IMPORTANT: Please note that Tap module systems have two outputs for each input, which may
require two power meters, and depending on the system configuration, possibly require an additional
craftsperson in another location.
1.4
If this procedure is reissued, a summary of the changes will appear in this paragraph.

  • Page 2: Precautions

    Precautions Laser Precautions \WARNING: DO NOT use magnifiers in the presence of laser light - diffused laser light can cause eye damage of focused with optical instruments. Never look directly into the end of a connector that may be carrying laser light. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately Cable Handling Precautions NOTE: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Do not bend cables more sharply than their minimum recommended bend radius.

  • Page 3: Calculating System Loss Budgets

    Calculating System Loss Budgets This section describes how to calculate the loss budgets of a system using a Pretium EDGE Tap Module. Note that you will need to calculate one loss budget for the LIVE system (Figure 4) and two different loss budgets for the Tap output (Figure 5 and 6). Table 1 indicates the system loss values of the system components: Multimode Fiber Single Mode Fiber Bend-improved...

  • Page 5: The Functionality Of The Tap Module Splitters

    The Functionality of the Tap Module Splitters Directionality 6.1 In simplest terms, the splitters inside a Tap module act like a divider of a one-way traffic flow – in this case, light. Input LIVE into The even-numbered LC connectors in a Tap output LC # 2 module serve only for source input and their traffic is split between the LIVE and TAP outputs (Figure 7, Tap Output top). on MTP Fiber 1 Output In the same fashion, the Tap module’s odd- numbered LC connectors receive live traffic from...

    7. Installing a Pretium EDGE Tap Module 7.1 Pretium EDGE Tap modules are installed just like their normal Pretium EDGE module counterparts. Refer to the Installation chapter in SRP-003-794, Pretium EDGE Solution, for complete instructions. This procedure covers module installation, trouble shooting, and other module-related topics as well. Install the Tap module and its Tap MTP harness into your system housing (this procedure illustrates an MTP to LC harness).
