 TAP Module 

Installation and Testing

1. 

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. 

Figure 1

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.
