The Cisco ® Model EPC3212 EuroDOCSIS 3.0 8x4 Cable Modem with Embedded Digital
Voice Adapter (EPC3212) is a high-speed cable modem with an embedded digital voice
adapter. The EPC3212 provides a faster connection to the Internet by incorporating eight
bonded downstream channels along with four bonded upstream channels. These bonded
channels deliver downstream data rates in excess of 440 Mbps. That’s up to eight times
faster than conventional single-channel EuroDOCSIS™ 2.0 cable modems. 1
The EPC3212 uses advanced line-interface technology to provide multi-country,
toll-quality, telephone service using existing in-home wiring. The EPC3212 features two
RJ-11 telephone ports for voice and supports 5 REN phone loading on each phone line.
