Fact Sheet
SB6100 Downstream Channel Bonding Cable Modem
Competition for subscribers has never been
fiercer, as competing providers increasingly
deploy higher speed services aimed at stealing
not only residential data customers but also
residential video customers. Higher-speed
services enable you to:
• Protect your installed base of high-speed data
customers
• Deliver high-bandwidth, multimedia services
to your customers
• Deliver competitive, high-capacity commercial
services to business customers
The Motorola SB6100 downstream channel
bonding cable modem incorporates DOCSIS®2.0
technology and key elements of the evolving
DOCSIS 3.0 technology, utilizing channel bonding
to provide up to four times the downstream
capacity, as defined in the DOCSIS 2.0 standard.
The SB6100 is a pre-DOCSIS 3.0 product that
enables you to provide your customers advanced
multimedia services through additional
downstream bandwidth availability. It provides
you with an economic option for greater than
100 Mbps throughput, without the need for
hybrid fiber coax (HFC) plant upgrade.
The SB6100 is backwards-compatible with
DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 and can be deployed
without service interruption, maximizing current
infrastructure investment and enabling
deployment of new value-added services. It
provides 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) Ethernet
connectivity and includes intuitive, easy-to-read
front-panel operational status LEDs for power,
receive, send, online, and PC connectivity.
With Motorola’s cable modems, high-speed
Internet access has always been at your
fingertips—always on and always connected. The
SB6100 channel bonding cable modem enhances
this experience providing users four times the
downstream bandwidth capability to enable a
multitude of advanced multimedia and
commercial services. As part of Motorola’s
broadband family of products, the SB6100 is the
ideal competitive solution for the high-end
residential user, the small home office (SOHO)
user, and the medium- to large-business
customer.
Motorola’s easy-to-use SB6100 downstream channel bonding cable modem
unlocks the potential of offering innovative higher-bandwidth data and
multimedia services to your customers—giving you the tools you need to
compete with the threats posed by advanced DSL and alternative broadband
services.

* Actual speeds will vary, and are often less
than the maximum possible. Data
transmission speed is approximate and
depends on the configuration and capacity of
your network, as well as the amount of traffic
on the network.
** Actual data throughput will be less due to
physical layer overhead (error correction
coding, burst preamble, and guard interval).
