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.

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.

Do you control your network or does your network control you?

Do you control your network or does your network control you?

If you’ve invested tens of millions of dollars building a reliable, robust, and high-performance network system, you need to now ask yourself some serious questions: What will you do in order to ensure higher performance, improved reliability, and better utilization of your network? Will you be proactive, or will you react when your system starts to lag and switch overutilization begins crashing critical applications? Is gambling with your system worth the cost to you, your customers, and your reputation? The answer to all these questions is network monitoring.
