cable modem

<communications, hardware> A type of modem that allows people to access the Internet via their cable television service. A cable modem can transfer data at 500 kbps or higher, compared with 28.8 kbps for common telephone line modems, but the actual transfer rates may be lower depending on the number of other simultaneous users on the same cable. Industry pundits often point out that the cable system still does not have the bandwidth or service level in many areas to make this feasible. For example, it has to be capable of two-way communication. See also: DOCSIS. (2000-12-19)

Cable modem

A cable modem is a type of network bridge that provides bi-directional data communication via radio frequency channels on a hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC), radio frequency over glass (RFoG) and coaxial cable infrastructure. Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access in the form of cable Internet, taking advantage of the high bandwidth of a HFC and RFoG network.

Examples of use of cable modems

1. Largely ignored by Chen, this high–tech partnership is responsible for everything from laptops and cable modems to motherboards and helps make Taiwan a mainstay of the global information technology industry.

2. Broadcom Corp., which made its name with semiconductors for electronic devices including cable modems and television set–top boxes, is a newcomer to the cell phone market but has been inflicting plenty of pain on its larger rival in court.

3. We sometimes started at 1Mbps but on the three broadband connections we tested the box with––two were at home (cable modems), one was at work––all of them ramped up to 2.2Mbps fairly quickly.

4. "Companies like AT&T who are making significant investments to build a private backbone" to the Internet, she says, "should have some leeway in the services we are offering on that backbone." Already, consumers pay different prices to receive content at different speeds, from dial–up or DSL connections from phone companies to cable modems.
