In addition to the items packaged with your modem, you will need the following items to complete your installation.

•Cable modem service provided by your cable company. The service must be DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) compatible.

•A power outlet.

•A cable TV outlet.

•The proper length of 75-ohm coaxial cable to reach between your cable modem and the cable outlet

Note: Because there is great variety in the way cable is installed, Zoom does not provide a coaxial cable to connect to your cable system. If your cable service company does not provide one, you should purchase a coaxial cable with an RG-59 or RG-61U rating (75 ohm) and industry-standard F connectors. For best performance, do not use “push- on” F connectors; use only “screw-on” F connectors.
