In the case of a damaged faceplate, it can be replaced more cost effectively and without any service interruption. When a technician needs to replace the coupler module, an external bypass tool is used to guarantee that the nodes further down in the network do not reset. Additionally, it’s simple to update the dB-value of the tap by just switching the coupler module, enabling the installer to leave the drop cables on the faceplate The complete modular system consists of: n 9 coupler modules covering all tap values n 3 faceplates covering 2/4/8- way taps n 1 backbox (3GHz ready) n Signal conditioning plugs are optional (standard 0dB jumper) The complete system contains just 13 SKUs, simplifying the supply chain and improving customer service. There is less inventory, less risk of stock outs and it is simple to work with. In addition to the advantages of the modular system, the installation time of the patented 3GHz in and out connectors is up to four times faster when compared with a legacy multitap. The XGT range also has vastly superior CPD performance and best on the market RF losses, so long cascades can be supported. What’s not to like?
