DESCRIPTION
The NX-LC-Y-PC-OM5-2M 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. It provides reliable and precise optical signal handling for enterprise networks, data centers, and cybersecurity environments where accurate traffic analysis and uninterrupted monitoring are essential.
Built with next-generation OM5 wideband multimode fiber, this Y-cable supports efficient high-bandwidth transmission and enhanced scalability for modern and evolving network infrastructures. The cable is terminated with LC/PC duplex connectors, ensuring secure, standardized, and stable connectivity across structured fiber optic environments.
The core function of this Y-cable is to convert a single duplex optical connection into two duplex outputs, enabling controlled signal distribution in Network TAP setups. It is designed to route optical signals exclusively to the receive (Rx) side of transceivers, ensuring completely passive monitoring without impacting live network traffic.
This makes it ideal for applications such as packet capture, intrusion detection, network performance monitoring, and cybersecurity analysis.With its 2-meter length, the NX-LC-Y-PC-OM5-2M provides a balanced option between compact and extended reach, making it suitable for medium-distance installations within rack systems and structured cabling environments. It allows flexible deployment while maintaining clean cable management and consistent optical performance with minimal signal loss.
This cable is widely used in enterprise networks, service provider infrastructures, security operations centers (SOC), and data centers where reliable and accurate network visibility is critical for operational efficiency, troubleshooting, and security monitoring.
