DESCRIPTION
The NX-LC-Y-PC-OM5-1M Fiber Optic OM5 Y-Cable is a high-performance multimode fiber patch cable engineered for advanced Network TAP deployments, optical monitoring, and high-speed network visibility applications. Designed for precision and reliability, it ensures accurate signal handling in modern enterprise, data center, and cybersecurity environments where uninterrupted traffic analysis is essential.
Built using next-generation OM5 wideband multimode fiber, this Y-cable supports efficient high-bandwidth optical transmission with improved scalability for evolving network infrastructures. The cable is terminated with LC/PC duplex connectors, providing secure, standardized, and stable fiber connectivity for seamless integration into professional networking 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 route optical signals exclusively to the receive (Rx) side of transceivers, ensuring fully passive traffic monitoring without interfering with live network operations. This makes it highly suitable for applications such as packet capture, intrusion detection, network performance monitoring, and cybersecurity analysis.
With its 1-meter length, the NX-LC-Y-PC-OM5-1M is ideal for short-range, high-density installations where minimal cable slack is required. It supports clean and efficient cable management in rack environments, ensuring organized deployment while maintaining optimal signal integrity and low insertion loss.This cable is widely used in enterprise networks, service provider infrastructures, security operations centers (SOC), and data centers where high-speed, accurate, and reliable network visibility is critical for operational efficiency and security assurance.
