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 Broadscape™ DOCSIS 3.0 UltraBroadband 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 frontpaneloperationalstatusLEDs.Operatorscanoptionally 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.
