Motorola CyberSURFR Cable Modem
This is a non-DOCSIS cable modem.
- Specifically, it uses Motorola's proprietary CDLP system.
- See • modem#CDLP Cable modem#CDLP on Wikipedia for a bit more info.
Early @Home Network installations may have been the principal
- users of these modems.. though some post @Home networks
- may have kept the legacy network going for a bit longer.
- On wap.org (front, back images)
- The front of the Motorola CyberSURFR has a curved face plate and six small lights.
- The Comcast@Home logo is a stick-on label on the otherwise gray metal case.
- Instead of two RJ-11 telephone jacks on the back, it has a "cable TV" connector
- (female Type F connector), an RJ-45 10BASE-T Ethernet port, an odd 9-pin D-shell
- (DB 9-pin male) connector for "testing," and a tiny reset button.
