* Actual speeds will vary,
and are often less than
the maximum possible.
Data transmission speed is
approximate and depends on
the configuration and capacity
of your network, as well as
the amount of traffic on the
network.
** Actual data throughput will
be less due to physical layer
overhead (error correction
coding, burst preamble, and
guard interval).
*** With A-TDMA- or
S-CDMA-enabled CMTS.
**** With S-CDMA-enabled
CMTS.
Certain features may not be
activated by your service
provider, and/or their network
settings may limit the feature’s
functionality. Additionally,
certain features may require
a subscription. Contact your
service provider for details.
All features, functionality, and
other product specifications
are subject to change without
notice or obligation. DOCSIS
3.0 modem capabilities are
dependant on the services
available through the CMTS.
Please verify with your CMTS
vendor their specific DOCSIS
3.0 implementation roadmap.
