Target Applications
DSL/Cable Modem
Introduction | The Vanguard 342 enables connectivity to |
| DSL and Cable by connecting the 10/100BaseT port on the Vanguard 342 to the |
| Ethernet port on the DSL or Cable modem. |
Cable modem speeds vary in the downstream direction. Network speeds can reach 27 Mbps., but this is an aggregate amount of bandwidth that is shared by users. Few computers will be capable of connecting at such high speeds, so a more realistic number is 1 to 3 Mbps. In the upstream direction speeds can be up to 10 Mbps. Most modem producers have selected a more optimum speed between 500 Kbps and 2.5 Mbps.
