Product Details

The Garland OM5501 is a portable passive fiber TAP with one TAP inside, built for OM5 multimode fiber (50 micron, OM3/OM4/OM5) with LC connectors. You place it between two network devices, and up to four portable TAPs fit on the RMP-1U 1U rack mount plate.

It copies both directions of traffic and sends each direction out its own monitoring port (breakout mode). This unit uses a 50/50 split ratio. Because it is passive, it does not alter the traffic, passes physical layer errors, and does not cause the network devices to lose link if power is lost.

The metal chassis measures 1.72 x 3.9 x 6.8 in. It needs no power and is engineered, manufactured and supported in the USA. Contact us for warranty and support terms.
