G-TAP

G-TAP | Network TAP | Value Priced High Density Optical TAP System

With the modular G-TAP® system, you can tap up to 8 optical uplinks. G-TAP is the highest density and most economical optical tapping system in the industry. 

The modular G-TAP design allows management of individual TAPs/links without effecting other TAPs/links and enabling a mixture of 10G and 1G, or singlemode and multimode in the same chassis. G-TAP is totally photonic for absolute fault tolerance.

The external G-TAP system compliments the Gigamon industry leading GigaVUE Traffic Visibility Nodes, combining high TAP density, optimal use of rack space and value-pricing to create a flexible, one-stop connectivity solution.

Features & Benefits 

  • Ultra thin 1/2U chassis conserves space
  • Supports up to eight full duplex links
  • Eight optical TAP modules support optical network options allowing mixed media & split ratios
  • Each module has two full duplex links to conserve space & maximize TAP density
  • Compliments GigaVUE-212, GigaVUE-420®, GigaVUE-2404® Traffic Visibility Nodes

GTAPs that are used as inputs to the GigaVUE use:

  • 50/50 Network TAP with 10 GigE
  • 70/30 Network TAP with 1 GigE
