Eaton Tripp Lite N482TAP-4MM73LC N482 70/30 Split Fiber TAP Cassette

Detailed Specifications

The Eaton N482TAP-4MM73LC is a passive multimode fiber Traffic Access Point (TAP) cassette designed for critical real-time network monitoring. This device allows IT professionals, network engineers, and security teams to gain visibility into fiber optic network traffic without introducing latency or creating a single point of failure. It serves as an essential component in data centers, telecom carrier networks, and R&D facilities where continuous traffic analysis and security threat detection are paramount. This TAP cassette employs an optical splitter with a fixed 70/30 ratio, directing 70% of the light signal to the primary network link and mirroring 30% to a dedicated monitoring device. Optimized for OM4 multimode fiber, it supports high-speed data rates up to 40/100 Gigabit internally, ensuring compatibility with modern network infrastructures. Its passive design is crucial for maintaining network performance and integrity, as it requires no power and remains unaffected by power outages, guaranteeing uninterrupted monitoring. Designed for seamless integration into existing rack environments, the N482TAP-4MM73LC is a modular cassette that fits into compatible Tripp Lite N482-series chassis. Its compact form factor and 12 Duplex LC ports simplify cable management and installation, enabling flexible deployment and easy removal without disturbing adjacent connections. This offers a scalable and manageable solution for capturing network data essential for performance optimization and security analysis.
