The Total Tap features a precision die cast aluminum housing that has six tap cavities for the installation of six plug in tap plates to provide service for 2 to 48 locations (subscribers). Each tap cavity can accept one of several types of 2, 4 or 8 port tap plates or blank plates. With this combination of options available in each of the six tap cavities, an almost unlimited range of configurations is available. The Total Tap housing has a 5/8” entry fitting at each end so the tap can be used in several different configurations. The housing can be fed from one end and use a terminating plate in the last position. The housing can be fed from one end with the other end being an output. Or, the housing can be fed from both ends using terminating plates back to back.
