Fluke Networks AXTAP1204LX-SFP In line LX Fiber Tap with 2 SFP any-to-any ports
Span Switching Taps
Multi-port span switching taps, also called matrix switches, extend visibility across individual network segments for analysis and monitoring devices. Select between multiple streams and route the desired traffic to your analysis and monitoring device.
Inline Aggregating Filter Taps
A tap’s ability to aggregate full-duplex and multiple link traffic is a great benefit to IT management because it maximizes visibility and extends the ROI of analysis and monitoring equipment.
Inline Aggregating Taps
Inline taps are installed between two network devices. Network devices include switches, routers, firewalls, servers and hosts. Network, application, or security analyzers then attach to the tap.
Span Aggregating Taps
Span aggregating taps increase the value of port mirroring by replicating the traffic to multiple analysis and monitoring devices. The additional ability to aggregate multiple mirror ports gives monitoring devices greater visibility across numerous network segments and maximizes the ROI on analysis and monitoring devices.

Combination Taps
Combination taps merge inline tapping with span regeneration and aggregation, all in the same tap. Maximum flexibility and configurability ensures that necessary traffic is fed to the appropriate device.
Single and dual link taps
Combination taps
Combination taps merge inline tapping with span regeneration and aggregation, all in the same tap. Maximum flexibility and configurability ensures that necessary traffic is fed to the appropriate device. Once the tap is installed, network, application and security analysis solutions gain clear, unobstructed visibility of traffic and events by simply plugging into the tap.
Use the inline capabilities when installing the tap between two network devices. The tap provides a copy of the network traffic for real- time monitoring and analysis. Aggregation provides access to critical links and meshed network traffic by combining full-duplex and multi-link traffic into a single data stream. The tap regenerates the signal so multiple analysis and monitoring devices can share the tapped connection simultaneously.
Use the span capabilities to replicate network traffic from taps and mirror ports to multiple analysis and monitoring devices. The ability to aggregate multiple mirror ports gives monitoring devices greater visibility across numerous network segments and maximizes the ROI on analysis and monitoring devices.
All combination taps feature “any-to-any” architecture and port steering. These are flexible ports that can be configured as either network (input) ports or monitor (tap) ports. Traffic from the network ports can be directed to any monitor port, allowing the traffic to be steered and aggregated as desired.
Benefits:
- Signal regeneration to support multiple analysis devices on the same tap.
- Plug-and-play simplicity for fast analysis and deployment.
- Media conversion to expand the ROI of existing analysis solutions.
- Eliminates the need for port mirroring which can degrade switch performance.
- Increased replication for a greater number of monitoring solutions.
- Full-duplex and multi-link visibility for single interface analysis solutions.
- Increases the value of a single mirror port by replicating the traffic to multiple monitoring and analysis devices.
- Increased aggregation for greater visibility across more critical links.
- Any-to-any architecture and port steering make it easy to direct the desired mix of traffic to the appropriate device.
- Many-to-one architecture allows analysis devices to have improved visibility with fewer ports.
- Highly configurable and flexible design ensures deployments options match the needs of any organization.
