Cable Modem

Model MB8600

Ultra Fast DOCSIS 3.1
plus 32×8 DOCSIS 3.0

The Motorola Model MB8600 cable modem supports DOCSIS 3.1, the new cable modem standard. DOCSIS 3.1 is the only cable modem standard capable of
delivering speeds of 1 Gbps and higher.* Model MB8600 also has 32×8 support for the older DOCSIS 3.0 standard, which supports the fastest available speeds using the older standard.

Modem speeds of 1 Gbps and higher require Ethernet port bonding to deliver those very fast speeds. The MB8600 has four GigE LAN ports with support for bonding to allow for delivered speeds of up to 4 Gbps.

DOCSIS 3.1 also introduces Active Queue Management (AQM), which significantly reduces Internet latency. AQM results in faster page loads for all Web traffic and greatly enhances interactive applications like on-line gaming and video conferencing.

What you should know about DOCSIS 3.1, the new cable modem standard

DOCSIS 3.1 is the fastest cable modem standard, supporting Internet speeds of many gigabits per second. Actual speeds depend on your cable modem service and the speed of your Ethernet LAN ports.

Only DOCSIS 3.1 cable services deliver actual speeds of 1
Gbps or more.

This cable modem has four GigE LAN ports, with support for bonding two ports and hardware to support bonding all four ports. Your top actual speed is about 1 Gbps without bonding, about 2 Gbps with 2 ports bonded, and about 4 Gbps with 4 ports bonded.

For bonding to increase your modem’s speed to about 2 Gbps or more, your router also needs to support bonding. For more information, see www.motorolanetwork.com/31

Even if you don’t have DOCSIS 3.1 service now, you can benefit from the 32×8 DOCSIS 3.0 capability that’s also built into this cable modem. This is the fastest DOCSIS 3.0
capability available.

For very high ACTUAL SPEEDS, this cable modem is a great choice.
