Wideband Cable Modem package: see What's in the Box? for a list of
items in the package.
Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a thin cable
with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to connect to
your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics retailer
and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both ends. There
are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-on connectors
are best for use with your Wideband Cable Modem. The coax should be long
enough to reach from your Wideband Cable Modem to the nearest cable out-
let.
Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a sin-
gle outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already con-
nected to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from
any electronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a short
piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to the
cable outlet and then connect the Wideband Cable Modem and TV to the
splitter.
Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its
two outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality of
your television and/or internet connection.
Wall-mount hardware (optional): if you want to wall-mount your Wide-
band Cable Modem, you need to obtain two drywall anchors or wood screws.
See the Wall-Mount Template and Instructions for more details.
