DESCRIPTION
The NX-LC-Y-PC-OS2-1M Fiber Optic OS2 Y-Cable is a high-performance singlemode fiber patch cable designed for Network TAP deployments, optical monitoring, and advanced network visibility applications. It is engineered for environments that require precise, loss-minimized signal handling and reliable traffic analysis in enterprise, data center, and cybersecurity infrastructures.
Built with premium OS2 singlemode fiber, this Y-cable delivers extremely low attenuation and supports long-distance optical transmission with excellent signal integrity. It is terminated with LC/PC duplex connectors, ensuring secure, standardized, and stable connectivity for professional fiber optic network installations.
The primary function of this Y-cable is to convert a single duplex optical connection into two duplex outputs, enabling controlled signal distribution within Network TAP architectures. It is specifically designed to route optical signals exclusively to the receive (Rx) side of transceivers, ensuring fully passive monitoring without impacting live network traffic or introducing latency. This makes it highly suitable for packet capture, intrusion detection, network performance monitoring, and cybersecurity analysis.
With its 1-meter length, the NX-LC-Y-PC-OS2-1M is ideal for short-distance, high-density installations where minimal cable slack and precise cable management are required. It is well-suited for compact rack environments, direct device-to-device connections, and tightly organized network setups while maintaining optimal optical performance and minimal signal loss.
This cable is widely used in enterprise networks, service provider infrastructures, security operations centers (SOC), and data centers where high-precision, real-time network visibility is critical for operational efficiency, troubleshooting, and security assurance.
