Gigamon G-TAP M Series TAP-M253 - tap splitter - GigE, 10 GigE, 40 Gigabit

The Gigamon G-TAP M Series is a family of high-density, passive fiber optical TAPs, that require no power source to operate. By splitting the light optically, the G-TAP M Series enables network operators to passively monitor full duplex fiber optic links, without impacting network traffic. Up to 36 full duplex links can be tapped in a 1RU space, allowing for more visibility with less space and lower costs. It utilizes advanced thin-film technology to minimize insertion loss and maximize consistency across optical transceiver vendors when deploying within the narrow optical budgets of multimode fiber networks.
