CABLExpress® Launches Tap Modules To Allow Testing Of Network Traffic In The Data Center

Syracuse, NY  /PRNewswire/ - CABLExpress® announces the launch of its tap modules, which allow for passive optical tapping and enable more efficient network monitoring and cable infrastructure management.

The MTP® to LC tap modules split fiber optic signals into two fibers, sending a portion of the data to the live network and the remaining data to a test environment.

"The CABLExpress tap modules provide an effective way for enterprise data center managers to assess their network traffic," said Matthew Graham , director of CABLExpress. "By integrating with the Skinny-Trunk Solution®, the modules save space in the data center and minimize the need for additional cabling and hardware for testing purposes."

The CABLExpress tap modules feature:

• Design that directly integrates with the CABLExpress Skinny-Trunk Solution and the recommended TIA-942 structured cabling standard
• Ultra low-loss components that provide flexibility in fiber network design
• Rugged design that allows fiber to remain secure
• Availability in H-Series (1U, 6U and 10U) and RSD Series (1U, 2U and 4U) footprints

The tap modules are available in multi-mode (OM3/OM4) and single-mode options with a 50/50 or 70/30 fiber split.

CABLExpress also recently launched its conversion modules, which facilitate the shift from 10- to 40-Gigabit Ethernet network speeds.
