Japanese term or phrase: 通信用MODEM
Do I need to describe this anymore than "modem"? Are there modems that aren't 通信用? If there is a proper term for this do let me know!

modem
Explanation:
There are different types of modem, but by definition, MOdulator-DEModulators are for telecommunications. 通信用 is just a redundancy and you can remove it.
