Motorola’s next-generation SURFboard Cable Modem (SB5102) is powerful, convenient, flexible, simple
to install, and easy to use. It incorporates DOCSIS®2.0 technology, providing up to three times the
upstream capacity of DOCSIS 1.0 or 1.1—allowing consumers to surf the Internet at as much as
30 Mbps. For a smooth transition, the SB5102 is backwards-compatible with DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1.
Operators can deploy the SB5102 without service interruption, maximizing their current infrastructure
investment while simultaneously offering new value-added services.
With Motorola’s SB5102 cable modem, high-speed Internet access is always at one’s fingertips. Always
on and always connected, a cable modem is much faster than a traditional dial-up modem, enabling con-
sumers to enjoy the Internet the way it should be. With the power and speed of the Motorola SB5102
cable modem, consumers will be surfing the Web like never before, downloading, working, shopping,
gaming, e-mailing—all faster and easier.
The SB5102 is convenient for operators, too.
Installation couldn’t be simpler. Just connect the coaxial
cable to the SB5102 and an existing cable outlet, connect the power, and connect the PC to the SB5102’s
Ethernet port.
Troubleshooting is a breeze, too, thanks to front-panel status indicator LEDs and an online
diagnostics page.
Once consumers have experienced broadband powered by the Motorola SB5102 cable modem, they’ll
never want to go back to dial-up again.
The easy-to-use Motorola SB5102 cable
modem unlocks the potential of high-
speed data service for consumers.

* 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).
*** With A-TDMA- or S-CDMA-enabled CMTS.
