A network Test Access Point (TAP), whether optical or electrical, is the foundation for providing network visibility, and it is vital that it is highly reliable. A TAP is a hardware device, often passive, that creates a copy of network traffic for monitoring and analysis purposes. These network tools are installed into a live link in to access the traffic moving across that link. Cubro Network Visibility has a wide range of Fibre Optical TAP and Copper Electrical TAP.
