LC Regeneration TAP

1. General Information
The Regeneration TAP enables the monitoring of a single LCfiber optic link by up to four monitoring systems. Instead ofsplitting the signal as many times as an output is needed, theRegeneration TAP only splits it once, before duplicating andregenerating the monitor signal four times.
IDS, Rmon, Probes and Analyzers can be used with thisRegeneration TAP to monitor the same segment of a networkat the same time, without interfering with the network. Once inplace, it allows you to monitor communications and connect
and disconnect analysis equipment at will without breaking
the circuit.
For optimum performance, the Regeneration TAP uses low
insertion loss zirconia sleeve adapters.

2. Installation

Connect the TAP as shown above.

The TAP functions in full duplex as well as half duplex mode.
The signal passes from one network device to the other. The
split ratio determines how much of the signal is passed to theanalyzer. A 50/50 split ratio passes 50% to the analyzer, whilea 60/40 ratio passes 40% to the analyzer.
Note:
Dust increases connector loss, and can in certain cases block
the signal completely. Leave the dust caps on the device if notin use. Mount clean dust caps on any unused connector.
