XGT taps

The XGT range includes a new 1.8 GHz modular multitap designed to extend your outdoor plant to 10G now and to be ready for 25G in the future.

  • DOCSIS 4.0 ready with 1.8 GHz faceplates and coupler modules (CM) as standard
  • Back boxes are DOCSIS 4.1 ready with outstanding performance up to 3 GHz.
  • Modular approach leads to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared with conventional taps due to significant savings in inventory management.

XGT 3 GHz connector – Faster, Better, Easier

  • 75% faster to install than conventional IN and OUT connectors of multitaps
  • Eliminates human error such as over-torque or under-torque
  • CPD is greatly reduced due to larger contact area on the inner conductor
  • Screwless connector accessible from the side and bottom of the tap

Inventory savings

The coupler module concept means that the directional coupler is a separate component from the faceplate and they can be combined to achieve the required tap value, eliminating 60% to 80% of tap SKUs, easing inventory management and reducing working capital. The operational supply chain from central warehouses and distribution hubs through to technician’s trucks will benefit from this inventory reduction.
