Here's their support page:

http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=f3c8a618-6be2-4859-b7db-6152e87bd537

Note that the 5100 is still listed there.

If I was going to pick a modem, I'd probably get one of the DOCSIS 3.0
models, like the Motorola SB6120, for future compatibility.
