This level of performance was considered quite impressive for its time, making it suitable for basic internet browsing, video streaming, and online gaming.

The SB4101 is equipped with a user-friendly interface, simplifying the process of installation and configuration. The modem features a standard Ethernet port, allowing users to connect it directly to a computer or router. This versatility enables networking flexibility, as users can expand their home network by integrating additional devices such as laptops, smartphones, and smart TVs.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the SB4101 is its compact design, which makes it easy to integrate into various home environments. The sturdy casing offers durability, ensuring longevity for users who require consistent connectivity. Additionally, the modem comes with LED indicators that provide clear information regarding power, receive, send, and online statuses, facilitating easy troubleshooting for end-users.

Security features in the SB4101 include support for encryption protocols that safeguard data packets during transmission, helping to protect users from potential threats. The modem also allows for remote management, enabling ISPs to monitor the device's performance and troubleshoot any connectivity issues without needing a technician on-site.

In summary, the Motorola SB4101 is a robust cable modem designed for reliable and efficient internet connectivity.
