Garland High Density (HD) TAPs are modular chassis network TAPs designed for copper network environments with limited data center rack space. Available in 1U and 2U form factors, these devices provide out-of-band network access for monitoring and security tools used by SecOps and NetOps teams. Key design characteristics: - 1U and 2U modular chassis form factors optimized for rack space efficiency - Hot swappable TAP modules to support various network scenarios - 1G Copper network interface design - Backplane filtering capability Power and management efficiency: - Requires only 2 UPS connections per 2U chassis (supporting up to 12 TAPs), reducing power consumption and setup overhead Supported TAP operational modes: - Breakout (passive tap) - Aggregation - Filtering - Bypass The 2U chassis supporting up to 12 TAPs consolidates multiple network access points into a single unit, reducing both rack space usage and power infrastructure requirements. The backplane filtering feature also enables the chassis to function as a cost-effective 1G network packet broker, providing additional flexibility for traffic management without requiring separate dedicated hardware.
