DOCSIS 1.0/ 1.1 Equivalent Cable Modem
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) replaces many different types of serial and parallel
port connectors with one standard plug and port combination.
10BaseT
An unshielded, twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors used with an Ethernet LAN.
"10" indicates the speed (10 Mbps), "Base" refers to baseband technology, and "T"
means twisted pair cable.
64QAM
64-State Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
This digital frequency modulation technique is primarily used for sending data
downstream over a coaxial cable network. 64QAM is very efficient, supporting up to
28-mbps peak transfer rates over a single 6-MHz channel. But 64QAM's susceptibility
to interfering signals makes it ill suited to noisy upstream transmissions (from the
cable subscriber to the Internet).
