It has to... do you see the LEDs? You need power to light them up ;-) Kidding.
It's an active device as it has to convert the signals from RJ45 to Coax cable. Active devices include active components such as resisters, capacitors, diodes etc., The power running through the cable wire is not enough to make them work.

Yeah, i've got had cable modems lock-up, too. each so often you no longer basically could undo and reset each little thing, you definitely could permit your equipment sit down powered down for a couple of minutes so as which you're assured of an entire reset. Then, each so often you basically could wait via fact your modem can take a on a similar time as to reaquire your IP handle. i've got had to look ahead to an hour or extra from some ISPs.

It uses DC (Direct Current), which it converts from AC with an AC adapter (those big fat plugs). The circuits inside it probably take 5 volts. Almost all computer circuit boards take 5 volts.

It requires electricity to function, just like the human brain and body.
