Technetix XGT: The new 1.8 GHz modular multitap to extend
\nyour outdoor plant to 10G now and to be ready for 25G-3 GHz
\nin the future. The XGT range is DOCSIS 4.0 ready with 1.8 GHz
\nfaceplates and coupler modules (CM) provided as standard.
\nThe back boxes are DOCSIS 4.1 ready with outstanding
\nperformance up to 3 GHz. A modular approach makes multiple
\nnew features possible that were previously unachievable. The
\nXGT modular tap is more cost effective over its product lifetime
\nand has a decreased Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared
\nto conventional taps.<\/p>\n
The CM concept means that the directional coupler is separate
\nfrom the faceplate which eliminates 60% to 80% of tap SKUs,
\neasing inventory management and reducing working capital.
\nThe operational supply chain from central warehouses and
\ndistribution hubs through to technicians\u2019 trucks will benefit from
\nthis inventory reduction. The XGT range can be supplied
\npre-assembled for large, preplanned deployments or as
\nindividual parts for maintenance.<\/p>\n
Most multitap maintenance is carried out on the faceplate,
\nreplacing damaged F-ports. With XGT taps the power and RF
\nline feeds are not interrupted if a faceplate is changed. This
\nmeans there are no service or power interruptions during
\nmaintenance, which would result in resetting nodes down
\nthe line. When a coupler module is changed, an external
\nbypass tool ensures that there is no power break further down
\nthe line. A major benefit is that a maintenance technician only
\nneed carry three faceplate types (2-way, 4-way and 8-way) in
\ntheir truck instead of multiple versions with different multitap
\ndB values.<\/p>\n
The coupler module can be replaced in seconds during final
\nalignment or maintenance with minimal service interruption.
\nSingle-handed installation with no tools required make it
\nconvenient for difficult to access locations. Only 5 to 9 types of
\ncoupler module are required replacing over 30 different value
\nand output faceplate combinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
