For under $5,000, you can TAP up to 8 opitical uplinks with the modular G-TAP™ system. G-TAP is the highest density and most economical optical tapping system in the industry. The modular G-TAP design allows management of individual TAPs/links without effecting other TAPs/links and enabling a mixture of 10G and 1G or single-mode and multi-mode in the same chassis.

The external G-TAP system compliments Gigamon's industry leading GigaVUE data access switch, combining high TAP density, optimal use of rack space and value pricing to create a flexible, one-stop connectivity solution.

GTAPs that are used as inputs to the GigaVUE use:

• 50/50 network TAPs with 10 GigE
• 70/30 network TAPs with 1 GigE

G-TAP model numbers:

• TAP-200: 1/2 U chassis, supports 1, 2, 3 or 4 dual optical TAP modules
