The Traffic Access Point (TAP) Module is part of the Netscale family and compatible with the same Netscale as a standard module, allowing for scalable port diagnostic capability. Monitor traffic is sent to test equipment to provide visibility into network traffic via real-time acquisition of error, performance, and utilization data. The Netscale TAP Module uses an advanced optical splitter to reduce insertion loss and modal noise and enable high performance applications such as 10G Ethernet and 16G Fibre Channel
