Connecting the Modem
To install your new cable modem, you will need the following items:
•
Two coaxial cables of a length appropriate to your installation
•
One cable line splitter
•
A 7/16 inch (11.1 mm) wrench (spanner).
When installing your new cable modem a cable splitter and two new cables are required.
The cable splitter divides the incoming signal from the cable company into two signals,
one for the household TVs, and one for the cable modem. No TV sets are allowed on the
cable that connects to the cable modem. Figure 2 illustrates a typical cable modem
installation.
