Problem: Blind Spots And High Costs Of Accessing Network Traffic
Organizations require dynamic network intelligence to provide security and ensure applications are running their best. But the larger a network grows, the harder it becomes to monitor. Blind spots can easily compromise your ability to ensure network quality. Traditional monitoring methods, such as port mirroring, can be costly and add layers of complexity. And some monitoring solutions negatively impact network availability. With networks growing faster than ever, now is the time for a high-performance, scalable monitoring solution.

IT Professionals buy Keysight Taps

  • Keysight having the largest range of tap types of any vendor — (Passive/Active, Speeds from 1Gbps to 400Gbps, Single mode and Multi mode, and connector/fiber types including Cisco BiDi).
  • Keysight offers the highest density and most modular tap on the market — Flex Tap VHD with up to 36 taps in a 19-inch 1U space.
  • Keysight having high quality products. Keysight undertakes thorough testing on taps in both the design and manufacturing processes, often using the same test equipment that Keysight is famous for.
  • Keysight single mode Flex Taps are multi-speed, and tested from 1G to 400G with wavelengths between 1260-1340nm.
  • Keysight’s reputation for technical innovation ‑ Keysight was the first to offer a modular tap — “Flex Tap” and continues to innovate through products such as the Flex Tap Secure+ which provides enhanced security for the most sensitive of applications, the Patch Tap which provides deployment flexibility for lower infrastructure capex, and the first Parallel Single Mode Flex Tap which supports 100G-PSM4 and is tested to support speeds up to 400G.
