The Cisco® Model EPC3212 EuroDOCSIS 3.0 8x4 Cable Modem with Embedded Digital Voice Adapter (EPC3212) is a high-speed cable modem with an embedded digital voice adapter. The EPC3212 provides a faster connection to the Internet by incorporating eight bonded downstream channels along with four bonded upstream channels. These bonded channels deliver downstream data rates in excess of 440 Mbps. That’s up to eight times faster than conventional single-channel EuroDOCSIS™ 2.0 cable modems.1
The EPC3212 uses advanced line-interface technology to provide multi-country, toll-quality, telephone service using existing in-home wiring. The EPC3212 features two RJ-11 telephone ports for voice and supports 5 REN phone loading on each phone line.

The EPC3212 is designed to meet EuroPacketCable™ 1.5 and EuroDOCSIS 3.0 specifications as well as being backward compatible with EuroDOCSIS 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 networks. The EPC3212 fully supports the CODECs specified in EuroPacketCable 1.5. Additional CODECs are available through a software upgrade that includes a high-fidelity CODEC option for toll-quality plus service. Standard VoIP call signaling is compliant with EuroPacketCable (MGCP/NCS) specifications. Software upgrades are available to support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call signaling.
