  • TypeCable Modem
  • DOCSIS 3.1 delivers up to 1 Gbps plans
  • 32 downstream by 8 upstream DOCSIS 3.0 bonded channels

What it is

The aibileec SB8200 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem built for residential broadband plans up to 1 Gbps. It connects to the coaxial line and provides two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports for a router or wired devices. The modem uses 32 downstream and 8 upstream DOCSIS 3.0 bonded channels plus two OFDM channels each way on DOCSIS 3.1. Setup is handled through the SURFboard Central app without calling the provider.

Who it suits

Households on Cox, Spectrum or Xfinity cable plans who want a separate modem and router. The unit is approved for speeds up to 1 Gbps and works with other major US cable ISPs. Buyers needing integrated Wi-Fi, cable digital voice support or service on AT&T, CenturyLink, Verizon, Frontier or any fibre, DSL or satellite network should choose a different device.

Deciding spec

DOCSIS 3.1 with two OFDM channels downstream and upstream is the specification that determines whether the modem can deliver the full speed of a gigabit-tier cable plan. Without it the connection falls back to DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding and may not reach the provisioned rate.

Questions about this item

Does the 32×8 DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding run hotter or noisier than the 2×2 OFDM 3.1 mode during all-day use?

The SB8200 is a fanless modem; it operates silently in both DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 modes. Heat output is low and does not change noticeably between the two channel configurations.

What router or device must I already own to get Wi-Fi and multiple wired connections from the two 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports?

You need a separate Wi-Fi router, mesh system or switch. The SB8200 provides only two wired Ethernet ports and has no built-in wireless or routing functions.

Will the SB8200 work with my older DOCSIS 3.0 router and existing coaxial wiring without a technician visit?

Yes. The modem falls back to 32×8 DOCSIS 3.0 bonding on existing coax, and the SURFboard Central app handles activation without an ISP truck roll.
