MPT/MPO 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 MPT/MPO Passive Multimode Fiber Network TAPs provide full duplex packet visibility in 40G/100G (MPT12) networks or 100G (MPT24) networks.

A portable, MPT/MPO 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. MPT/MPO Passive Multimode Fiber TAP are designed for short-range connectivity environments.
