Ixia Flex TapTM

Passive Network Monitoring

Highlights

The Ixia Flex TapTM provide reliable continuous visibility of 100% of network traffic to support performance and security with no network performance degradation or disruption.
Flex Taps are flexible and scalable, each Tap in the family is modular, can supports speeds up to 100G, and is 100 percent passive. Flex Taps are available in multimode and single mode fiber varieties with split ratios ranging from 50/50 up to 90/10. Depending on the model, the Flex Tap is available with either LC or MTP (MPO) connectors. Up to 36 taps can be deployed in a single 1U 19inch rack space.
The design of the Flex Tap is optimized and tested for high-performance fiber networks ranging from 1G to 100G. Flex Taps are deployed at any inline connection on the network, therefore no additional overhead or management burden is added to the network devices to copy traffic for the monitoring/ security infrastructure. The Flex Tap is compatible with all major manufacturers' monitoring devices, including protocol analyzers, probes, and intrusion detection systems, and is protocol agnostic.

� Highly reliable fiber optic Tap technology
� Deploy up to 36 Taps in 1U
� Supports network speeds from 1G to 100G
� Available in multimode and single mode fiber models
� Cisco 40G BiDi Tap model available
� Choice of standard size rack mount (up to 36 taps) or minichassis which is one third width - ideal for desk top or space constrained deployments
� Passes all full-duplex traffic (including errors) from all layers
� Non-disruptive and transparent
� 40G SR4 MTP model can be used as one 40/100G SR4 tap or 4 x 10G taps
� 100G MTP model can be used as one 100G (SR10) tap or 12 x 10G taps
� Requires no power and does not have an IP address, providing safety from remote attacks
� Black and tan LC connectors denote multimode fiber for network monitoring
� Color coded in blue and green for easy port monitoring on LC connectors in single mode fiber
� 40G and 100G Multimode MTP models include monitor port Y-Cable

Table Notes:
Y cable kits for LC taps contain 2 x network and 1 x Y cables
a These taps are primarily designed for use in 4 lane MM fiber installations � eg. QSFP+ or QSFP28.
b These taps can be used in SM 1G (SFP), 10G (SFP+), 40G (QSFP+) or 100G (QSFP28) applications
c Each tap can tap either 12 MM LC links at 1/10G, 3 MM MTP based SR4 links at 40G/100G or a single SR10 link at 100G
