DOCSIS 1.0/ 1.1 Equivalent Cable Modem

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) replaces many different types of serial and parallel port connectors with one standard plug and port combination.

10BaseT

An unshielded, twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors used with an Ethernet LAN. "10" indicates the speed (10 Mbps), "Base" refers to baseband technology, and "T" means twisted pair cable.

64QAM

64-State Quadrature Amplitude Modulation

This digital frequency modulation technique is primarily used for sending data downstream over a coaxial cable network. 64QAM is very efficient, supporting up to 28-mbps peak transfer rates over a single 6-MHz channel. But 64QAM's susceptibility to interfering signals makes it ill suited to noisy upstream transmissions (from the cable subscriber to the Internet).
