Description
The Tripp Lite N482TAP-4MM73LC is a passive OM4 multimode fiber TAP cassette designed to enable real-time network traffic monitoring without introducing latency or disrupting live data flow. Installed within compatible N482-Series fiber enclosures, this cassette splits optical signals into two outputs—preserving primary user traffic while diverting a portion for monitoring and analysis.
Featuring a 70/30 split ratio, the cassette directs 70% of the signal to the production network and 30% to monitoring tools, making it ideal for performance analysis, troubleshooting, and security monitoring in data centers, telecom environments, and R&D facilities. Factory-terminated LC duplex ports ensure quick installation and consistent optical performance, while the passive design eliminates single points of failure.
Optimized for parallel optics and high-speed environments, the N482TAP-4MM73LC supports modern multimode fiber deployments and integrates seamlessly with Tripp Lite N482-Series chassis for scalable, modular monitoring architectures.
