General

1.1
This procedure describes EDGE8™ MTP Tap
Modules, which are available for both multimode and single-mode
applications. Compatible with all EDGE8 rack-mountable
connector housings, Figure 1 shows the configurations offered.
1.2
The module contains eight 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 port 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 crafts person in another location when testing.

    Precautions Laser Precautions WARNING: DO NOT use magnifiers in the presence of laser radiation. Diffused laser light can cause eye damage if focused with optical instruments. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately. Cable Handling Precautions CAUTION: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
