POWER LEVELS

IMPORTANT
Before installing the FTAP-x-2X8 Fiber Tap, you must measure the network's power level at the point where
the Fiber Tap will be inserted. In order to minimize the bit error rate of the analysis system, the input power
to the Fiber Tap from both the transmit and receive side of each segment must be within the power level
ranges recommended in table below. By optimizing the performance of the analyzer path, the analyzer will
be able to perform as it was designed to detect and resolve network errors.
