XMG5101-S10A
G.fast Bridge Modem with 1-port GbE/Coaxial
The Zyxel XMG5101-S10A G.fast Bridge Modem provides high-speed G.fast
Internet access to meet the market demand for high-performance Gigabit
networks. This model also features built-in Ethernet LAN capability that
relieves troublesome wiring works. Additionally, it has flexible RJ-14 twistedpair or coaxial interfaces for G.fast access.
Benefits
G.fast provides high-throughput broadband services
The Zyxel XMG5101-S10A G.fast Bridge Modem supports G.fast with
bandwidths ranging from 2 to 106 MHz. The bandwidth is up to 1 Gbit/s PHY
rate. It is flexible to update downstream/upstream rates to enable operators
to adjust services for different service demands.
Compliant with the ITU-T
G.fast Recommendation
(G.9700/1)
Support RJ-14 twisted-pair
and coaxial ports for G.fast
connection
Gigabit Ethernet ports

Multiple WAN options for flexible deployments
The built-in RJ-14 and coaxial ports provide flexible G.fast
Internet access technology. The RJ-14 port allows the
Zyxel XMG5101-S10A to keep using the existing twistedpair connection for Internet access, while the coaxial port
makes the XMG5101-S10A fit into cable networks to access
G.fast technology.

Phone Cable
Pure bridge modem to keep the existing
infrastructure
The Zyxel XMG5101-S10A is a pure bridge modem. It uses
Gigabit Ethernet port to connect to the existing broadband
routers, so operators can keep using the existing
infrastructure and QoS to maintain services. It helps
operators to offer Gigabit services with rapid deployments
at the lowest cost.
