Mounting the Wideband Cable Modem
You can either mount the Wideband Cable Modem on a wall or place it on a desk-
top. For wall-mount applications, you can mount the Wideband Cable Modem with
the indicators facing upward (vertical) or to the side (horizontal).
Tools and Materials
For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and mate-
rials before proceeding:
•
screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you
use)
•
wall-mount template (included)
•
transparent tape (for temporarily securing the mounting template to the
wall)
•
for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4” (6mm) drywall anchors and a drill with
1/4” (6mm) bit (not included)
•
for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self tapping
screws (not included); the head diameter should be approximately 6mm
(0.25inches)
Location
Always position the Wideband Cable Modem:
•
within 1.3m (4 feet) of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet
without stretching and without adding extension cords.
•
with the indicator lights facing up or to the right as shown
•
near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs).
•
where the ventilation holes on the unit will not be blocked
Note
:
For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and mini-
mize or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Wideband
Cable Modem.
