With its XFO faceplate-only 1.8 GHz upgrade, Technetix helps cable MSOs address budget pressures, long lead times, legacy infrastructure, and sustainability goals associated with DOCSIS 4.0 network upgrades. The XFO multitap is a faceplate-only swap for 1.8 GHz upgrades to 750, 862, 1002 or 1218 MHz networks. Because the XFO is compatible with legacy housings, XFO offers cable MSOs a quick, cost-effective upgrade with uninterrupted service, without full tap replacement and network downtime. The series is a 1.8 GHz upgrade faceplate for legacy-style multitaps, such as Motorola, Regal, or Scientific Atlanta/Cisco-style. A faceplate-only swap negates the need for temporary RF and power shutdowns on coaxial lines, sustaining connectivity during upgrade without impacting online services. XFO’s electro-mechanical matching design enables the connection of old in/out screw contacts with the XFO faceplate, resulting in a flat in/out response and acceptable return loss levels on official housings.
