Description
The Eaton Tripp Lite N482TAP-4SM73M8 is a high-performance singlemode fiber TAP (Traffic Access Point) cassette designed to provide real-time network monitoring without disrupting live traffic. Featuring a 70/30 split ratio, it directs 30% of the optical signal to monitoring equipment while transmitting the remaining 70% to the primary network, ensuring seamless performance and zero latency impact.
Ideal for data centers, telecom networks, and R&D environments, this passive optical TAP supports 40/100/400 Gbps network compatibility and complies with IEEE 802.3ae and ANSI T11.2 Fibre Channel standards. With a modular design compatible with Eaton’s N482-Series enclosures, the cassette ensures easy installation, reduced downtime, and optimal scalability for modern fiber infrastructures.
