Fluke FTAP-8S

This Port Fiber Tap monitors full duplex lines in today's high speed switched networks with switch mirror ports often results in the loss of information due to error blocking, serialization delay and over subscription.

Fluke Networks has the solution. Fluke's copper and fiber in line taps provide visibility of full duplex traffic, at full line rate on an otherwise inaccessible switch link.

Traffic is sent to the OptiView LA without any loss of packet, error and timing information.

Single port taps are economical devices that can be permanently installed on critical links to provide visibility to traffic when breaking the connection is not an option.

Two 8 port in line taps can be connected together to provide access to up to 16 switch links with one OptiView LA.

A dedicated tap control port is available on the OptiView LA.

Users running the OptiView Protocol Expert software can remotely control a multi port in line tap through the OptiView LA over the network.
