Network Monitor with Passive Optical Tapping

Tap Module

Learn More

EDGE/EDGE8 tap modules enable passive optical tapping of the network while reducing downtime and link loss, and increase rack space utilization and density compared to other optical tap options.

Unlike other passive optical tap solutions that must be added as separate devices in the network link, the EDGE/EDGE8 tap modules integrate the coupler technology for passive optical tapping into a structured cabling component – the module. Monitored ports can be added without disrupting the system’s live traffic, and insertion loss in the link is reduced by the integration of the passive optical tapping into the module.

Jumper Complexity

67% Reduction in Inventory

Pinning the trunks allows for single, pinless jumper deployment, reducing stocking complexity.

EDGE8® consists of pinned trunks and non-pinned modules - it uses the same module and patch cord type at both ends with no inversion or reconfiguration needed to maintain polarity. Polarity is easily accomplished and managed with the modules’ internal fiber wiring scheme.

When deployed in an EDGE™ ODF, one single patch cord length can be applied to connect all ports within the same frame and to cross-connect within a dual frame.

Reduced Link Attenuation

50% Reduction in Parallel Links
Eliminating the conversion modules cuts link attenuation in half, resulting in longer prallel link distances.
30% Reduction in Duples
Improving MTP®-LC module insertion loss performance cuts link attenuation by 30%, resulting in longer duplex link distances.

All EDGE8® solutions MTP®-LC modules, MTP trunks and harnesses are manufactured to meet ultra-low-loss values.

Port Mapping

Optimized Harness Mapping
Allows 24-, 32-, 36-, and 48-port blades on large chassis switches to be cabled with 8-fiber harnesses without unused fiber/connectors.
Optimized Port Breakout
8-fiber port breakout modules map 4-channel parallel protocols (SR4, PSM4, etc.) cleanly to duplex ports.

Breaking out parallel ports is beneficial for multiple applications, such as building large scale spine-and-leaf networks and enabling today’s high-density 10/25G networks.

Port-breakout deployments have become a popular networking tool and are driving the large industry demand for parallel optics transceivers. Today, port breakout is commonly used to operate 40/100Gbps (40/100G) parallel optics transceivers as four 10/25Gbps (10/25G) links. Breaking out parallel ports is beneficial for multiple applications, such as building large scale spine-and-leaf networks and enabling today’s high-density 10/25G networks.
