Cox Communications SNE

Cox Communications SNE Energy Information

This site provides information about the energy efficiency of Small Network Equipment (SNE) models, such as Internet modems and routers, that have been purchased by Cox Communications since January 1, 2015 for use with its residential broadband internet access service. This site will be updated as Cox Communications makes new devices available to its customers. Some listed models may no longer be available and/or may not be available in all areas. The power measurements herein represent the SNE devices generally configured as they are deployed in the cable operators’ networks and running the operators’ software, and measured in accordance with the test procedures as specified in the Voluntary Agreement. The energy use of an individual SNE device may vary.
