Benefits

Product Overview Video; click to watch

  • Supports all architectures — Applicable across all geographies and architectures, including Centralized and Distributed Access Architectures (CAA/DAA). GigXtend is also compatible with Standard Spectrum DOCSIS (FDD) and Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX).
  • Futureproof — Faceplate upgradeable to more than 3GHz, the GigaXtend solution is designed to play an essential role in the evolution to Extended Spectrum DOCSIS (ESD).
  • Industry-Leading Performance — Leverages unique and patented power-passing technologies to establish new benchmarks for bandwidth, RF loss, hum modulation and AC loss.
  • Extended Reach — GigaXtend’s minimized insertion loss performance enable MSOs to effectively extend the reach of nodes and amplifiers. It is especially effective for cable operators pursuing fiber deep (FD) Node+0 initiatives, where coaxial construction costs or the number of nodes can be minimized in a serving area.
  • Operational Savings — MSOs can leverage GigaXtend’s low-loss properties to achieve operational savings by reducing a node’s RF output power, thereby reducing AC powering levels.
  • Deployment Flexibility — GigaXtend is compatible with FDX architectures, but also offers cable operators a feasible path for achieving 10Gbps symmetrical bandwidth speeds through Extended Spectrum DOCSIS.

Features

  • Unique and patented power-passing technology
  • Lowest industry loss at 1.2GHz
  • Faceplate upgradeable to 3GHz or higher
  • Plug-in signal conditioners (CE/CS/RA)
  • Dimensions consistent with wide body tap
  • Screw-less hardline 90° entry connector
  • Improved Hum Modulation performance
  • Environmentally hardened enclosures
  • All power-passing ports with removable fuses

Solution: Distributed Access Architecture (DAA)

ATX offers MSOs an extensive portfolio of next-generation inside and outside plant equipment that includes Video Engines, Digital Optical Transport, HFC Amplifiers and Hardline Passives, and conforms to all MSO architectures and specifications, including DAA, DOCSIS® 3.1, DOCSIS 4.0 and Extended Spectrum.


Webinar: Exploring the Benefits of Low-Loss, High-Bandwidth Taps & Passives

A new generation of taps and hardline passives is now available that enables MSOs to reap immediate CAPEX and OPEX savings, while prepping the last mile of their networks to seamlessly support future spectrum extensions. This webinar, originally airing on July 24, 2019, shines a spotlight on how updating these devices in your network with ATX’s new GigaXtend™ family of 2GHz hardline passives can deliver significant cost savings and performance dividends — today and in the future — with minimal disruption to your coaxial cable plant.

NOTE:

1. Defined as In to Out in most cases. For 959, unbalanced 3way splitter, it is In to low loss port

2. Defined as In to Tap (coupled port) in most cases. For 959, unbalanced 3w splitter, it is in to high loss ports.

3. All losses in dB

4. For splitters, this is output-output isolation, for couplers it is output-tap isolation, for power inserter it is AC-IN to any RF/AC port

Unless otherwise noted, specifications reflect typical performance and are referenced to 68° F (20° C). Specifications are based upon measurements made in accordance with SCTE and ANSI standards (where applicable), using standard frequency assignments.
