GigaXtend SGDT 1.2GHz Drop Power Taps

The ATX GigaXtend SGDT 1.2GHz Taps with power distribution tap port designed for the DOCSIS® 3.1 evolution of hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks. DOCSIS 3.1 technology allows cable operators to fully and efficiently use their broadband networks to provide the services that subscribers demand. As part of DOCSIS 3.1 support, the broadband operating frequency range has been increased to cover the entire 5MHz to 1.218GHz spectrum. With the addition of a power-distributing tap port, other network devices can be served through a simple tap connection.

These products are also fully compatible with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling requirements. These capabilities can contribute to higher customer revenue by allowing increased bandwidth across a network and the ability to extend network powering so services, such as wireless network devices, can be provided. The taps offer best-in-class performance along with added flexibility in system design. This flexibility is achieved using three types — reverse attenuators, forward equalizers and forward inverse equalizers — of optional plug-ins that are ideal for higher output, deep-fiber architectures.

Features

Expanded frequency range handles DOCSIS 3.1 requirements of 1.218GHz and OFDM signaling.
Optional plug-in reverse attenuators, forward equalizers, and forward inverse equalizers offer design flexibility.
Choice of 2-, 4- and 8-way full-profile versions.
6-kV combination wave surge protection for both tap and through ports, with a rugged design that helps the products continue operating after surges that would typically damage products and interrupt service.
12A through current rating.
2A (for 2-way and 4-way) and 1.5A (for 8-way) distribution through a safe and easily identifiable tap port.
AC/RF bypass switch that avoids interruption to the rest of the network during faceplate removal.

Backward-compatible faceplates that support economical faceplate upgrades into existing backhousings.
AL360T housing with powder coating for superior environmental protection.
Sealed and swaged extended F-ports that resist moisture.
Nickel-plated brass F-ports that provide a corrosion-resistant drop interface.
Component covers for additional protection of faceplate circuitry during maintenance.
Versatile housing design that permits overhead, pedestal, or multiple dwelling unit (MDU) mounting schemes.

NOTE:

The specifications above show typical tap measurements with plug-ins installed. A few deviations to these general specifications are noted in the following list:

1. For the 2-way 8-dB and 11-dB taps, the tap-tap isolation of from 5 to 750 MHz is 17 dB, and the tap-tap isolation from 751 to 1250 MHz is 14 dB.

2. For 2-way 4 dB with forward equalizer, the input return loss is 15 dB. For 2-way 8 dB and 11 dB, the input return loss is 16 dB and 15 dB, respectively. For 4-way 14 dB, the through return loss is 15 dB.

3. For 2-way 8 dB and 11 dB, the tap port return loss is 12 dB and 14 dB, respectively.

4. Tested per ANSI/SCTE 48-1 2015 5. On designated tap port (port 3 on 2-way tap, port 2 on 4-way tap, port 1 on 8-way tap). All return loss and isolation specifications noted in the list are typical performance specs. Worst-case specs would degrade no more than 1 dB for any given spec.
