BiDi PASSIVE (No Power) Fiber TAPs

A Network TAP (test access point) is a hardware device that allows you to monitor and secure your network traffic by copying packets from a network link without impacting or compromising network integrity.

Garland Technology’s BiDi Passive Multimode Fiber Network TAPs provide full duplex packet visibility in networks with OM4 and OM5 Multimode bi-directional fiber optics.

A portable, Passive Multimode Fiber TAP is placed between two (2) network devices to mirror (or copy) the network traffic flowing through those devices. The TAP breaks out copies of both side of traffic separately, including passing physical layer errors. The TAP is passive meaning it does not require power, does not alter the traffic flow in any way, and is invisible on the network. BiDi Multimode Fiber TAPs are designed for bi-directional optical environments.
