The SB5101 offers both Ethernet and USB interface connectivity to ensure compatibility with

almost any PC or Macintosh network-ready computer system. The SB5101 Cable Modem received

DOCSIS 2.0 certification in Cable Labs Certification wave 28 (April 2004). The SB5101E

EuroDOCSIS Cable Modem received the corresponding EuroDOCSIS 2.0 certification in ECW 16

in September 2004.

A top panel standby switch has been added for additional end-user security. It disconnects the

USB and Ethernet connection to the CPE without disconnecting the cable modem from the RF

network; providing a simple but effective reassurance for the customer that their PC is safe from

unwanted external access.
