High Value and Increased Data Rates

Motorola’s easy-to-use SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS

3.0 Cable Modem unlocks the potential of offering
innovative high-bandwidth data and multimedia
services to customers.

Utilizing the power of DOCSIS 3.0, the SB6120
enables channel bonding of up to 4 downstream
channels and 4 upstream channels – which allows
an operator to offer their customers advanced
multimedia services with data rates of well over 100
Mbps in each direction. The SB6120’s higher-speed
services enable operators to:

Protect their installed base of high-speed data •
customers
Deliver high-bandwidth, multimedia services•
Deliver competitive, high-capacity commercial •
services to their business customers

Economic and Flexible

The Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable
Modem provides operators with an economic option
for providing Ultra-Broadband services, with 4X the
current maximum user data throughput approximating
160 Mbps in DOCSIS mode and 195 Mbps in Euro­DOCSIS mode*, without the need for hybrid fiber
coax (HFC) plant upgrade. Maximizing an operator’s
current infrastructure investment, the SB6120 can be
deployed without service interruption.

Backwards compatible to DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0, the
SB6120 also supports both IPv4 and IPv6, Advanced
Encryption Services, and all other DOCSIS 3.0
standards.

As part of Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 Ultra-Broadband
family of products, the SB6120 includes an enhanced
tuner that supports up to a 1 GHz downstream
input allowing operators to increase the frequency
spectrum for deployment of new high-value services
such as bandwidth on-demand, commercial services,
interactive gaming and IPTV to their customers.

The SB6120 features a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
(RJ-45) port, as well as intuitive, easy to read front­panel operational status LEDs. Operators can optionally
activate dual colored LEDs for their customer to have
visual verification of bonded channels and GigE link
use.

With Motorola’s cable modems, high-speed Internet
access has always been at your fingertips – always
on and always connected. The SB6120 is the ideal
competitive solution for the high-end residential user,
the small home office owner, as well as the medium
to large business enterprise.

Packaging

The SB6120 uses Motorola’s
new, environmentally friendly
package design; our modems
ship in single pack boxes. By
both eliminating the suspension
plastic and reducing the box
size, Motorola is helping to
reduce the environmental
impact of the SB6120. As an
even more impactful step,
operators may choose to
receive the products in a bulk
package, thus reducing the
extra waste and transport
weight associated with
single packages. Motorola’s
single and bulk packaging
solutions eliminate excess
installation CDs and USB
cables. Additionally, customers
have the option to reduce the
number of cables shipped
with each unit. The packaging
is 100% recyclable. Our
packaging is now labeled with
standard recycling codes (such
as ) to make it easier for our
customers to identify recycling
opportunities.
