Cisco Surge-Gap Tap,1.25GHz, 2Way,8dB (MULT=20

The Cisco Surge-Gap tap is the evolution of the HFC network, providing full support of the DOCSIS 3.1 standard. DOSCIS 3.1 support will allow MSOs to fully and efficiently utilize their broadband networks to provide the services, that their subscribers demand. Support for DOCSIS 3.1 means, that the frequency capabilities of the devices is increased to the full spectrum as well as full compatibility with the OFDM signaling requirements. These capabilities will allow MSOs to increase revenue generation by allowing increased capability across their networks to drive improved services to their customer base. In addition to the DOCSIS 3.1 capabilities, the Cisco Surge-Gap tap continues to support IEEE-compliant surge protection, which provides protection against voltage transients in lightning strike areas and locations with unreliable power networks. In addition, the Cisco Surge-Gap tap offers the same "make-before-break" capabilities, which allows cable technicians to pull the tap's faceplate and perform maintenance without interrupting service to subscribers, located downstream.
