Performance metrics for the CODA56 demonstrate a primary focus on multi-gigabit handoff, facilitated by a single 2.5 GbE (Multi-Gig) LAN port. Technical specifications indicate the use of the MaxLinear Puma 7 chipset, which provides high-speed data processing while mitigating the jitter issues documented in previous chipset iterations. As an L2 bridge, the device lacks internal DHCP or Wi-Fi routing capabilities, serving strictly as a translation layer between coaxial signal and Ethernet output.
Integrated Design Metrics
Material analysis reveals a compact chassis footprint, which is significantly smaller than comparable high-bandwidth modems. The device supports 2x2 OFDM/OFDMA channels to optimize spectral efficiency and reduce network congestion. Physical status is provided via a high-luminance LED array on the front panel, while cooling is achieved through a passive vertical ventilation design.
If your local network infrastructure is currently limited to 1Gbps hardware, the Motorola MB8600 offers a similar Broadcom-based alternative with multiple standard ports. This unit belongs to the high-throughput tier of the DOCSIS 3.1 modems category.
