GigaXtend 1.2GHz RWT Taps

ATX GigaXtend® SG Series 1.2GHz Reverse Window Taps (RWTs) are designed for DOCSIS® 3.1 hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks. They offer all the benefits of our standard Surge-Gap taps and allow increased efficiency in system design by reducing reverse path tap losses and tilted forward path tap losses.

Reverse window taps provide benefits in the HFC plant at tap locations with high-level forward RF signals and significant up-tilt (typically the tap locations closest to nodes and amplifiers). The 1.2GHz reverse window taps are offered in several forward and reverse tap values.

Features

  • Six forward path cable slope values and two reverse path values available in various combinations
  • Available in 2- and 4-way standard SGT Tap Housings
  • Also available in 2-, 4- and 8-way full-profile housings
  • AC/RF bypass switch that provides interruption-free service to downstream subscribers during faceplate removal
  • 12A through current rating
  • AC blocking capacitors on each port to minimize RF signal distortions
  • Backwards-compatible housing that supports economical faceplate upgrades
  • Increased surge tolerance with rugged design that lets new products continue to operate after surges that would typically damage ordinary products and interrupt service
  • AL360T housing with powder coating for superior environmental protection
  • Sealed and swaged extended F-ports for greatest resistance to moisture ingress
  • Nickel-plated brass F-ports to help ensure a corrosion-resistant drop interface
  • Component covers for additional protection of faceplate circuitry during maintenance
  • Versatile housing design that permits aerial, pedestal or multiple dwelling unit (MDU) mounting schemes
