CommScope FFT*-*Q Series Full-Feature Equalizable Taps
The ARRIS FFT‐Q series equalizable taps offer improved return path performance for advanced two‐way HFC systems while maintaining backward compatibility with the previous FFT installed base (Back to “F” Series). In addition to mechanical backward compatibility to existing FFT tap housings, we now offer faceplate only options for plant upgrades. The faceplate only option allows the technician to easily upgrade an existing location with a simple faceplate change. This solution provides significant product cost savings, as well as reduced shipment cost, by eliminating unneeded extra housings being built and shipped.
CommScope F-Port Extracting Taps
ARRIS 1.2 GHz power extracting taps are capable of delivering video, telephony, and data over the broadband hybrid fiber coax system. These taps have all of the same features and performance as our standard Q‐series FFT taps, including 12 ampere power passing and surge resiliency, but with the additional feature of power extracting for Cable Wi‐Fi applications. The BTTF*‐*Q taps extract power from the cable feeder and deliver it to the Cable Wi‐Fi Access Point via the F‐Port (Port 1, jumper selectable). RF signals are distributed through the F‐ports to the coaxial drop, as well.
CommScope Regal Taps Full Feature Equalizable
The ARRIS Regal® RMT2120 1.2 GHz series equalizable taps offer improved return path performance for advanced two‐way HFC systems while maintaining backward compatibility with the previous Regal installed base. In addition to mechanical backwards compatibility to existing Regal tap housings, we now offer faceplate only options for plant upgrades. The faceplate only option allows the technician to easily upgrade an existing location with a simple faceplate change. This solution provides significant product cost savings, as well as reduced shipment cost, by eliminating unneeded extra housings being built and shipped.
CommScope Regal Passives – RF Passives
The ARRIS Regal® RL12 1.2 GHz System Passives are available in configurations including directional couplers, balanced and unbalanced splitters and power inserters that maintain backward compatibility with previous Regal installed base. In addition to mechanical backwards compatibility to existing Regal passive housings, we now offer faceplate only options for cost effective upgrades. These AC power‐passing, two‐way devices operate within an RF passband of 1.2 GHz and are enclosed in die‐cast 360 aluminum alloy housings that are equipped for strand and pedestal mounting. These features provide users flexible installation options and reduce the need for cable loops. The RL12 series is also equipped with shorting bars which can be removed for power blocking or replaced with fuses as needed.
ARRIS STARLINE SSP‐Q System Passives are available in a variety of configurations including directional couplers, balanced and unbalanced splitters, and power inserters. These AC power‐passing, two‐way devices operate within an RF passband of 1.2 GHz and are enclosed in die‐cast 360 aluminum alloy housings that are equipped for strand and pedestal mounting. The SSP‐Q series employs a swivel center conductor seizure mechanism and a rotatable faceplate to ensure that users can configure the units in a variety of input/output and RF/AC combinations. These features provide users flexible installation options and reduce the need for cable loops. The SSP‐Q series is also equipped with shorting bars which can be removed for power blocking or replaced with fuses as needed.
