Fiber Optical Taps Features

A Flexible and Scalable Solution for 100% Visibility

Built using fiber-optics, our Flex Tap fiber taps deliver 100% visibility into network traffic and permanent, passive access points while preserving top network performance. That’s because each tap in the Keysight Flex Tap™ family is modular and can support network speeds of up to 400Gbps, and is 100% passive.

At the same time, Flex Taps allow you to effectively monitor network performance, avoiding issues of degradation and disruption. Flex Taps are also versatile: each is compatible with all protocols and monitoring devices, and can be deployed at any inline connection on the network without increasing overhead or management workflows. Flex Taps consist of a base chassis unit that can tap to 36 LC links, or 12 MTP based modules.

Passive fiber taps such as Keysight Flex Taps are very secure as once inserted in a network. They are always live and cannot be 'hacked' and disabled. A key aspect of selecting the right tap for the job is the calculation of a 'light budget' that confirms that a passive tap will not lead to any dropped packets on the network being monitored.
