Cable Modem
Ultra Fast DOCSIS 3.1
plus 32x8 DOCSIS 3.0
The Motorola Model MB8600 cable modem supports
DOCSIS 3.1, the new cable modem standard. DOCSIS
3.1 is the only cable modem standard capable of
delivering speeds of 1 Gbps and higher.* Model
MB8600 also has 32x8 support for the older DOCSIS
3.0 standard, which supports the fastest available
speeds using the older standard.
Modem speeds of 1 Gbps and higher require Ethernet
port bonding to deliver those very fast speeds. The
MB8600 has four GigE LAN ports with support for
bonding to allow for delivered speeds of up to 4
Gbps.
Model MB8600
DOCSIS 3.1 also introduces Active Queue
Management (AQM), which significantly reduces
Internet latency. AQM results in faster page loads for
all Web trac and greatly enhances interactive
applications like on-line gaming and video
conferencing.

What you should know about DOCSIS 3.1,
the new cable modem standard
DOCSIS 3.1 is the fastest cable modem standard,
supporting Internet speeds of many gigabits per second.
Actual speeds depend on your cable modem service and
the speed of your Ethernet LAN ports.
Only DOCSIS 3.1 cable services deliver actual speeds of 1
Gbps or more.
This cable modem has four GigE LAN ports, with support
for bonding two ports and hardware to support bonding
all four ports. Your top actual speed is about 1 Gbps
without bonding, about 2 Gbps with 2 ports bonded, and
about 4 Gbps with 4 ports bonded.
For bonding to increase your modem’s speed to about 2
Gbps or more, your router also needs to support bonding.
For more information, see www.motorolanetwork.com/31
Even if you don’t have DOCSIS 3.1 service now, you can
benefit from the 32x8 DOCSIS 3.0 capability that’s also
built into this cable modem. This is the fastest DOCSIS 3.0
capability available.
For very high ACTUAL SPEEDS, this cable modem is a
great choice.
