A Bypass TAP/Switch is essential for maintaining uninterrupted connectivity and smooth network operation. It acts as a fail-safe mechanism in the event that devices fail or require maintenance, allowing traffic to continue flowing without interruption.

It also provides the flexibility to reroute traffic for security monitoring or analysis purposes without impacting network performance.

Essentially, investing in a Bypass TAP is critical to optimising reliability, security and operational efficiency in any network infrastructure.
