ATX Taps & Passives
ATX Taps & Passives
Digicomm offers two families of passives for HFC networks, including taps, couplers, splitters and power inserters. The 2GHz XS Series enables MSO to support more powerful D4.0 architectures, while the 1.2GHz SG series will maintain a 1.2GHz plant and is compatible with a current vendor platform that recently announced an end of life.

GigaXtend SGT 1.2 GHz Taps
The ATX SGT 1.2 GHz Tap product line allows MSOs to fully and efficiently utilize their broadband networks to provide all DOCSIS services up to version 3.1. The devices will work with any upstream/downstream split used today to greatly increase upstream capacity. Downstream capacity may be recovered utilizing OFDM in the full 1218MHz spectrum that these devices support. These capabilities allow MSOs to build an entire HFC ecosystem that would offer higher data rate tiers to subscribers, supporting new and improved services along with maximizing revenue per subscriber.
GigaXtend SGDT 1.2 GHz Drop Power Taps
The ATX GigaXtend SGDT 1.2 GHz 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 5 MHz to 1.218 GHz 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.
GigaXtend FST 1.2 GHz Taps
The ATX GigaXtend FST 1.2 GHz Taps are 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 5 MHz to 1.218 GHz spectrum.

GigaXtend RWT 1.2 GHz Taps
ATX GigaXtend RWT 1.2 GHz reverse window taps are designed for the DOCSIS® 3.1 evolution of hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks. They offer all the benefits of ATX’s standard SGT 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 1.2 GHz reverse window taps are offered in several forward and reverse tap values.
GigaXtend SGP 1.2 GHz Passives
Today’s MSOs are challenged to deliver new and improved services to subscribers, as cost-effectively as possible. The ATX GigaXtend SGP 1.2 GHz Passives product line provides full support of the DOCSIS 3.1 standard and OFDM sub carrier requirements. This allows MSOs to increase frequency of devices to the 1.218 GHz spectrum across the existing network. Added capacity plus reliable performance means better service for customers.
The ATX GigaXtend SGP 1.2 GHz SGP Passive family of products is designed for optimal reliability in broadband networks. The 6 kV surge specification, industry-leading hum modulation and the power soak ratings of the directional couplers, splitters, and power inserters, coupled with the outstanding insertion-loss specifications, help ensure the reliable performance required in the most demanding applications.
GigaXtend SGP 1.2 GHz Line Equalizer/Reverse Conditioners
The ATX GigaExtend SGP product line allows MSOs to fully and efficiently utilize their broadband networks to provide all DOCSIS services up to version 3.1. GigaXtend SGP 1.2 GHz Line Equalizer/Reverse Conditioners improve network performance on both the forward and reverse paths in a coaxial transmission system. These capabilities allow MSOs to build an entire HFC ecosystem that would offer higher data rate tiers to subscribers, supporting new and improved services along with maximizing revenue per subscriber.
