What You Will Also Need
In addition to the items packaged with your modem, you will need
the following items to complete your installation.
•
Macintosh with an available Ethernet port and running Mac
OS 7.6.1 or above.
Note:
If you have an older Mac, it may have an AAUI-15
Ethernet port rather than a 10BT Ethernet port. If so, you
will need to purchase an AAUI-15-to-10BT adapter.
•
Cable modem service provided by your cable company. The
service must be DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface
Specification) compatible.
•
A power outlet.
•
A cable TV outlet that has been configured by your cable
company for high-speed broadband access.
•
The proper length of 75-ohm coaxial cable to reach between
your cable modem and the cable outlet
Note:
Because there is great variety in the way cable is installed,
we do not provide a coaxial cable to connect to your cable
system. If your cable service company does not provide
one, you should purchase a coaxial cable with an RG-59 or
RG-61U rating (75-ohm) and industry-standard F
connectors on both ends. For best performance, do not
use “push-on” F connectors; use only “screw-on” F
connectors.
