The XGT 10 gigabit modular outdoor tap user manual is intended for network engineers and
technicians responsible for planning, configuring, installing and testing the Technetix XGT
outdoor tap. Installers should have a working knowledge of coaxial cable and line powering
systems and cabling practices.
Tool list
The following tools and supplies are required when installing an XGT outdoor tap:
˺3/8" (10 mm) nut driver for lid bolts
˺Torque limiting spanner (wrench) tool 30 in/lbs (3.5 N-m) for F-connectors
˺Torque limiting spanner (wrench) tool 40 in/lbs (4.5 N-m) for KS 5/8 connectors
˺XGT-MBBT for power passing while removing coupler modules
˺XGT-CM-RT for easy removal of coupler modules
SAFETY
Warning: The center pin becomes live when the first connector is inserted – don’t touch anything else
with second connector – this will cause a shock.

1. DOCSIS 4.1, the next generation after DOCSIS 4.0, taking bandwidth from 1.8 GHz to 3 GHz 25 Gbps data capacity.
2. With DOCSIS 4.1 all legacy Regal, GI-Moto, SA-Cisco and Magnavox housings become obsolete.
3. The futureproof XGT housing has enables a secure 3GHz connection without screws and excellent protection
against common path distortion (CPD).

Chapter 1 User applications
1.1 Mass deployment
While the modularity of the XGT range is ideal for
maintenance and small deployments, it is recommended that
fully assembled multitaps are used for mass deployments
and entire network upgrades where 1 GHz and 1.2 GHz units
are all being replaced.
After a mass deployment it is recommended that individual
SKUs from the XGT range are used for ongoing maintenance
and upgrades to fully benefit from the modular approach and
the lower inventory requirements.

1.2 Installing cables to the IN and OUT connectors
The housing is fitted with a spring loaded 5/8 female connector (Fig. 1), designed to fit a standard KS 5/8 male connector
without the need to secure the pin with a screw contact (unlike legacy multitaps).
1. Cut the 5/8 pin to a length of 1.34” (34 mm) with a tolerance 0.039” (+/- 1 mm) also marked on the back
of the housing (Fig. 2).
2. The XGT 5/8 female connector takes pins with a diameter of 0.065” – 0.075” (1.65 - 1.91mm).
3. Torque the KS connectors to 40 in/lbs (4.5 N-m).
Pin length 1.34" (34 mm)
IMPORTANT: The total pin length = pin length and connector thread length (Fig. 3).

1.3 Base installation of IN and OUT connectors
If installing a multitap and both cables come from the same direction, you can relocate the “blind plugs” to the side ports (Fig. 4),
making sure they are torqued at 40in/lbs (4.5 N-m), then the shielding eectiveness against 4G/5G signals remains high.
1.4 Signal Conditioning
Signal conditioning is used in certain networks to give a specific amount of tilt to the tap ports enabling them to reach homes
with a flat signal. In the XGT platform the signal conditioning plug-ins can be installed in the faceplate, which are all delivered
with a 0 dB jumper. When installing a cable equalizer or cable simulator, the 0 dB jumper in the faceplate will be replaced by the
signal conditioning plug-in.

1.5 Tightening sequence of faceplate bolts
Fully tighten to 30 in/lbs (3.5 N-m) in the following sequence:
1.6 Installing drop cables on the faceplate
Fix the F-male connector to the drop cables while connecting to customer premises at the front F-female ports of the
multitap, then tighten the connectors to 30 in/lbs (3.5 N-m) torque. Make sure all F-ports that are not in use are terminated
with a 75 Ohm terminator also to 30 in/lbs (3.5 N-m) torque.

2.2 Bill of materials
Cross-reference the table below to determine the CMs required. The module number refers to the attenuation level
in dBs (to the faceplate). The faceplate adds the 2, 4 and 8-way splitter loss due to the number of ports on the faceplate.
The final values for tap loss are detailed in the table below.
A simple way to check that you have the correct couple module is to check the colored label. This will give you the dB values
the coupler will provide in combination with a 2, 4 or 8-way faceplate.
