Cisco’s Cable Modem Product Line

As with the DSL product line, Cisco caters to the head end and the remote installation. At the
central office, Cisco provides the uBR10012 and uBR7100/7200 series Universal Broadband
routers. The uBR10012 product combines the Cisco 10000 Edge Services Router with the
uBR7200 product, which can support up to 8,000 terminations.
For remote installations, the product line contains two products: the uBR905 and the uBR925.
Both support VPN tunnels (IPSec) and firewall services in addition to routing, but the uBR925 adds
support for voice over the cable network and a USB port.
Unlike the DSL product line, Cisco does not currently support a cable modem interface for
the higher end routers, including the 1700, 2600XM, and the 3600 series. This will likely
change in the future, but administrators should note that cable television is not as prevalent in
business parks and commercial buildings as compared to residential settings.
