Regeneration fiber TAPs

F1L-RG2 / F1L-RG4

  1. Make the in-line connection between 2 network locations through the ↑A↓ and ↑B↓ ports, using LC cables (maintaining the in-out / ↑↓ connectivity for the ends of each fiber cable).
  2. Make the connection from the Monitor ports to the Rx ports of your monitoring equipment, using LC cables.

Note: Monitor A1/A2/A3/A4 ports send only the traffic received through Network A↓ port, while Monitor B1/B2/B3/B4 ports send only the traffic received through Network B↓ port.

Note 2: A TAP's monitor ports must be connected to the receive (Rx) ports of the transceivers on your monitoring system. One way to do this is to use simplex cables to connect each monitor output to a separate transceiver. Another way is using Y-cables.

Note 3: Optical fiber is sensitive to dust and other microscopic particles, which can disturb or block the signal. It is recommended to keep dust caps on unused connectors to reduce the risk of contamination. In case of weak signal, or lack of signal, the first remedial step should be to clean the cables and connectors using proper fiber optic cleaning equipment.
