1.25 GHz Surge-Gap Tap product line is the latest 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 1.218 GHz spectrum as
well as full compatibility with the new OFDM signalling requirements. These new
capabilities will allow MSOs to increase revenue generation by allowing increased
capability across their networks to drive new and improved services to their customer
base.

In addition to the new DOCSIS 3.1 capabilities, the Cisco 1.25 GHz Surge-Gap Tap product line continues to
support IEEE-compliant 6 kV surge protection which provides protection against voltage transients in lightning
strike areas and locations with unreliable power networks. In addition, the Cisco 1.25 GHz Surge-Gap Tap
products offer the same “make-before-break” capabilities of previous Cisco tap products, which allow cable
technicians to pull the tap’s faceplate and perform maintenance without interrupting service to subscribers located

The Cisco 1.25 GHz Surge-Gap Tap is the latest addition to the Surge-Gap product line aimed at supporting
DOCSIS 3.1 network architectures. Cisco 1.25 Surge-
Gap Taps are an extended offering of Cisco’s multimedia
