+Two basic versions of thick ethernet taps were produced, this on is an example of where the Yellow Coax cable has to be severed and an N connector plug crimped or soldered to each end, these are then screwed in to the tap.
+The other type used a sharp pin to pierce the cable and could be installed without interruption to service, these were often referred to as "Vampire Taps".
