DESCRIPTION
The NX-LC-Y-PC-OM4-5M Fiber Optic OM4 Y-Cable is a high-performance 5-meter multimode fiber patch cable engineered for advanced Network TAP deployments, optical monitoring, and enterprise-grade network visibility solutions. It is designed to support precise traffic analysis in environments where extended physical reach and reliable optical signal integrity are essential.
Built with premium OM4 multimode fiber, this Y-cable delivers low-loss, high-bandwidth optical transmission suitable for modern high-speed network infrastructures found in data centers, enterprise networks, and cybersecurity operations. The cable is terminated with LC/PC duplex connectors, ensuring secure, standardized, and stable connectivity within structured fiber optic environments.
The primary function of this Y-cable is to convert a single duplex optical connection into two duplex outputs, enabling controlled signal duplication for Network TAP configurations. It is specifically designed to route optical signals exclusively to the receive (Rx) side of transceivers, ensuring completely passive monitoring without interfering with live network traffic. This makes it ideal for accurate packet capture, traffic analysis, intrusion detection, and performance monitoring applications.
With its 5-meter length, the NX-LC-Y-PC-OM4-5M is optimized for installations requiring greater distance between Network TAP devices and monitoring equipment. It allows flexible deployment in large-scale rack environments, distributed infrastructure setups, and complex data center layouts where extended cable routing is necessary. Despite the longer reach, it maintains excellent signal stability and consistent optical performance.
This Y-cable is widely used in enterprise networks, service provider infrastructures, security operations centers (SOC), and large data center environments where reliable, high-precision network visibility is critical for operational efficiency and cybersecurity monitoring.
