Features of the C5500XK

  • The C5500XK combines the functions of a modem and a fiber-optic network terminal into one device. It decodes the optical signals that make your fiber internet work.

  • This device will be permanently installed (attached to the wall) inside your home or small business. Do not remove it if you move or cancel service.  

  • For WiFi coverage, this device must be paired with 360 WiFi or your own router.

Speed specifications

The C5500XK SmartNID is tested and certified to run at speeds up to 940 Mbps on the Quantum Fiber network. 

 

Note: Speeds reflect the maximum download speed the technology can deliver with Quantum Fiber service. In-home speeds may differ based on router setup, devices and other factors. 

Installation of a C5500XK

A Quantum Fiber technician will install the SmartNID in your property by attaching it to the wall and carefully connecting it to our fiber network. As a network terminal, it should remain in place even if you move or cancel service.
