Pretium
EDGE
®
Tap Module
Installation and Testing
1. 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
®
connectors in back
(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.
