Is there a tap that can provide both aggregated and non-aggregated output?
Yes. Datacom Systems SS-1200 and SS-2200 series taps can be configured by the user to provide either type of output or on the higher port density models can even provide both simultaneously. An additional benefit of this design is the capability for the tap to be reconfigured to accommodate growth in utilization. These taps can initially be deployed as aggregation taps but when utilization spikes begin to dictate the addition of a monitor card to the tool and a need for non-aggregated output – they can be reconfigured by the user to provide non-aggregated output.
