You Will Also Need
To complete your installation, you must have these items:
•
Cable modem service provided by your cable company. The
service must be DOCSIS- (Data Over Cable Service Interface
Specification) or EuroDOCSIS-compatible, where applicable.
•
A cable outlet.
•
A 75-ohm coaxial cable that will connect to the cable TV sys-
tem and that can reach to the computer that will contain your
cable modem.
Note:
Because there is great variety in the way cable is installed,
Zoom does not provide a coaxial cable to connect your
modem to your cable system. Your cable company may
provide the appropriate length cable for your use. If the
company doesn’t supply the cable, you should buy a coax-
ial cable with an RG-59 or RG-61U rating (75 ohm) and
industry-standard F connectors.
Tip: For best performance, do not use “push-on” F con-
nectors; use only “screw-on” F connectors.
