Understanding Network TAPs, Part 2: Passive TAPs vs. Active TAPs
WEBMar 19, 2019 · Passive network TAPs are so called because they don’t require power to operate. These devices contain an optical splitter that creates a copy of the signal as it passes through — and this applies to fiber TAPs and 10/100M copper network TAPs.
Understanding Network TAPs – The First Step to Visibility
WEBA passive TAP requires no power of its own and does not actively interact with other components of the network. It uses an optical splitter to create a copy of the signal and is sometimes referred to as a “photonic” TAP.

It uses an optical splitter to create a copy of the signal and is sometimes referred to as a photonic TAP. Most passive TAPs have no moving parts, are
The Difference Between Passive and Active Network TAPs
WEBOct 10, 2018 · A passive network TAP is a device that has no physical separation between its network ports. This means that if the device loses power, the traffic can still flow between the network ports, keeping the link up. This applies both to fiber TAPs and to network TAPs with 10/100M copper interfaces.

WEBTAPs create an exact copy of the bi-directional network traffic at full line rate, providing full fidelity for network monitoring, analytics and security. Passive TAPs provide continuous access to traffic and require no user intervention or configuration once installed — a true set-and-forget solution.
WEBA Network TAP (short for Test Access Point) is a hardware device that is placed on a network segment, allowing you to access and monitor network traffic. Network taps allow traffic to flow without interruption or interference. As long as they are connected, a network taps will create an exact copy of both sides of traffic on the network.
