In addition to the items packaged with your modem, you will need

the following items to complete your installation.
• Cable modem service provided by your cable company. The

service must be DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface

Specification) compatible.

• A power outlet.
• A cable TV outlet.
• The proper length of 75-ohm coaxial cable to reach between

your cable modem and the cable outlet

Note: Because there is great variety in the way cable is installed,

Zoom does not provide a coaxial cable to connect to your

cable system. If your cable service company does not

provide one, you should purchase a coaxial cable with an

RG-59 or RG-61U rating (75 ohm) and industry-standard

F connectors. For best performance, do not use “push-

on” F connectors; use only “screw-on” F connectors.
