Fiber taps allow you to make a copy of network traffic as it travels between two network devices. These highly reliable, nonpowered devices are the perfect solution to collect and capture network traffic for application analysis.
Installation Follow the wiring diagrams shown below. Fiber taps are directional, and use specific inputs and outputs for TX and RX to work
properly. Make sure to clean all connectors with compressed air and clean patch cable connectors prior to installation.
Typical Insertion loss ratios*: •50/50 MM -4.2 dB •70/30 MM -3.0/-6.7 dB •50/50 SM -3.9 dB •70/30 SM -2.2/-6.3 dB (*approximate)

Tap Series FTP-8000/9000
FASTstart Guide
$PSSFDU8JSJOHWhen installing a Fiber Tap, it is important to make sure that the Tx and Rx fibers
are connected to the respective ports on the Fiber Tap. When wired correctly, the traffic incoming on
an Rx port will be split before being sent to two separate Tx ports (One copy to the other Network
device, the other copy to Monitor).
SYSTEMS INC
3FWFSTF8JSJOHIf the fibers are connected backwards, light will not be received on the monitoring
port. This is because the internal coupler that splits the light is unidirectional.
5P"WPJE3FWFSTF8JSJOHReverse wiring can be difficult to catch initially, since an incorrectly cabled
Fiber Tap will still send light between the network ports and connectivity will be seen on both network
endpoints. Be sure to check the for light on the monitor ports as well as the network ports when
installing the Fiber Tap.
