Don't know. The guy just installed it and I left him alone.

In my case they just terminate the cable with the normal cable terminator.
This then attaches directly to the cable modem. I asked for plenty of extra
cable so that I can move things around a bit.

My main problem was that he tested the line and put a attenuator to reduce
the signal strength to the correct levels. For the next two weeks I didn't
get a solid connection. NTL customer server where totally crap and wouldn't
come around on a Saturday to fix the fault. In the end I took the
attenuator off and it's worked ever since!

The only problem that I've had with the modem is via the USB connection. I
always turn all of my equipment off at the mains. When turning back on you
need to wait until the modem has gone on-line before turn the computer on.
I've now moved to the ethernet connection and don't have to do this
