High-Density Optical Tapping and T1 E1 Signal Replication

Non-Intrusive Monitoring for Lab and Live Networks

Modern optical and T1 E1 networks require continuous visibility without disrupting live traffic. GL Communications’ T1 E1 Multiport and Optical Tap Repeaters provide a reliable, non-intrusive solution for replicating live signals, enabling monitoring, testing, and analysis across lab, field, and production environments.

Optical Tap Repeater for SONET/SDH and Ethernet Monitoring

Why Choose GL’s T1 E1 and Optical Tap Repeaters?

Non-Disruptive Signal Access: Safely monitor live T1 E1 and optical links without impacting network performance or service availability
Multi-Port Signal Duplication: Create multiple identical signal outputs from a single input—ideal for parallel testing, monitoring, and diagnostics
Electrical and Optical Support: Supports G.703 electrical interfaces and optical tap replication for SONET/SDH and Ethernet networks
Accurate Signal Regeneration: Preserves timing, framing, and signal integrity for precise analysis and validation
Full-Power Optical Signal Replication: Signals are repeated at full power, eliminating optical power loss associated with passive taps
