The Keysight TPPCH-10-SR-50-50 is a passive patch tap module that provides continuous, non-disruptive access to network traffic within patch panels and fiber distribution frames. Operating as a 50/50 split coupler, it divides incoming traffic equally between the network and monitoring ports, enabling real-time visibility for protocol analyzers, probes, and intrusion detection systems without impacting network performance or introducing protocol dependencies.
