No, our TAP cassettes are passive monitoring devices that can provide monitoring services without interfering with the fiber optic transmission.

During a power outage, an active TAP cannot regenerate the signal, so it becomes a point of failure. Since a passive TAP is not powered, it would be unaffected during a power outage and the packets (originating from a source that still has power) would continue to flow.

Port mirroring is not truly passive because it has a measurable effect on network traffic. Spanning changes the timing of the frame interaction and will drop frames if the speed of the SPAN port becomes overloaded; Network taps are truly passive. They provide visibility into every packet of data without adding any additional load onto the network.

You can run only 2x MTP connectors (instead of all 4 MTP connectors), and it is required to use LIVE 1-12 and TAP 1-12 ports in pairs or LIVE 13-24 and TAP 13-24 ports in pairs. But you cannot only use the MTP ports on the back of this TAP Cassette, it is required to go from MTP to LC. Thanks.
