Focus on Optical TAPs (Fiber TAPs)
Profitap’s optical TAPs are non-intrusive splitters that deliver 100% visibility into duplex fiber links without affecting live traffic. They are designed for carrier-grade reliability and cover a full range of optical standards:
- Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) TAPs
▫️For long-haul and backbone links.
▫️Wavelengths: 1310/1550 nm and CWDM/DWDM spectrum.
▫️Speeds: 1G → 400G. - Multimode Fiber (MMF) TAPs
▫️For short-range data center and enterprise connectivity.
▫️Variants for OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5.
▫️Speeds: 1G → 100G. - BiDi (Bidirectional) TAPs
▫️Capture bidirectional traffic carried on a single fiber.
▫️Ideal for modern high-density data centers. - High-Speed Fiber TAPs
▫️Support for 40G, 100G, 200G, and 400G Ethernet.
▫️Optimized for leaf-spine architectures and carrier backbones. - Ruggedized & Secure Optical TAPs
▫️Hardened enclosures for government, finance, and defense environments.
▫️Ensure tamper resistance and compliance with strict regulatory requirements.
Other TAP Families
- Copper TAPs – in-line access for 10/100/1000M and 10G copper links.
- Bypass TAPs – maintain link integrity when security tools fail or need maintenance.
- Aggregation TAPs – merge multiple links into a single output for monitoring.
- Regeneration TAPs – replicate one link to multiple monitoring tools.
- Replication TAPs – distribute identical traffic copies for parallel monitoring.
- Virtual TAPs (vTAPs) – capture east-west traffic in virtualized and cloud environments.
Benefits for the Client
- Lossless optical visibility – every packet, error, and frame is captured.
- Future-proof speeds – from legacy 1G up to next-gen 400G.
- Deployment flexibility – support for SMF, MMF, BiDi, CWDM, and DWDM.
- Enhanced compliance – secure TAPs for regulated industries.
- Tool optimization – aggregation and replication to maximize monitoring ROI.
