DESCRIPTION
The NX-LC-Y-PC-OM5-5M Fiber Optic OM5 Y-Cable is a high-performance multimode fiber patch cable designed for Network TAP deployments, optical monitoring, and advanced network visibility applications in enterprise, data center, and cybersecurity environments. It is engineered to deliver stable, low-loss, and highly reliable optical signal transmission for accurate traffic analysis and continuous monitoring.
Built with next-generation OM5 wideband multimode fiber, this Y-cable supports efficient high-bandwidth optical transmission and future-ready scalability for modern network infrastructures. The cable is terminated with LC/PC duplex connectors, ensuring secure, standardized, and stable connectivity across 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 distribution in Network TAP configurations. It is specifically designed to direct optical signals exclusively to the receive (Rx) side of transceivers, ensuring fully passive monitoring without interfering with live network traffic. This makes it ideal for packet capture, intrusion detection, network performance monitoring, and cybersecurity analysis.
With its 5-meter length, the NX-LC-Y-PC-OM5-5M is ideal for medium-to-long range installations where additional reach is required between Network TAP devices and monitoring systems. It provides flexibility for larger rack environments, distributed infrastructure layouts, and complex cabling scenarios while maintaining excellent signal integrity and minimal loss across the full distance.
This cable is widely used in enterprise networks, service provider infrastructures, security operations centers (SOC), and large-scale data centers where accurate, real-time network visibility is critical for operational efficiency, troubleshooting, and security assurance.
