Is the SURFboard modem compatible with cable modem equipment from other manufacturers?
Yes. All SURFboard cable modems are now built to comply with the Data-Over-Cable-System-Interface-Specification (DOCSIS) standard. Click for more information about DOCSIS. In fact, SURFboard received its first CableLabs Certification in May 1999. Motorola was one of the first few companies to receive this certification, which indicates that the cable modem fully complies with the DOCSIS standard after passing an extensive battery of compliance tests. There will continue to be non-DOCSIS cable systems and you should always verify compatibility with your cable operator. Customers of proprietary cable modem systems should check with their service provider on availability of DOCSIS and any upgrade path.
