Connect the Fiber Optic Tap as shown above.
The Tap works in Full Duplex as well as Half Duplex Mode.
The information passes from one Network device to the other,
the split rate decides how much is passed to the Analyzer:
50/25/25 split passes 25% to each Rx Analyzer’s port, while
40/30/30 passes 30%.

Note:
Dirt increases connector loss and can in certain cases block
the signal totally. Leave the dust caps on the device if not inuse. Mount back the dust caps if the Analyzer is taken away.
