Description
WIC-1AM

Cisco WIC-1AM module

The WIC-1AM provides one internal V.90 analog modems. This WIC can be used for basic telephone service connections. The WIC-1AM uses one port for connection to a standard telephone line, and the other port can be connected to a basic analog telephone for use when the modem is idle.
WIC-1ENET

Cisco WIC-1ENET module

 The WIC-1ENET is a single-port 10 Mbps Ethernet interface card, for use with 10BASE-T Ethernet LANs.
WIC-1T

Cisco WIC-1T module

The WIC-1T provides a single port serial connection to remote sites or legacy serial network devices such as alarm systems, Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) concentrators, and packet over SONET devices.

Sync Max Speed : 2048 Mbit/s
Async Max Speed : 115.2 Kbit/s
WIC-2AM Cisco WIC-2AM module The WIC-2AM card features dual RJ-11 connectors, which are used for basic telephone service connections. The WIC-2AM has two internal V.90 analog modems to allow multiple data communication connections. These WICs can be used for incoming or outgoing analog modem calls.
WIC-2T

Cisco WIC-2T module

The 2-port asynchronous/synchronous serial network module provides flexible multi-protocol support, with each port individually configurable in synchronous or asynchronous mode, offering mixed media dial support in a single chassis. Applications for asynchronous/synchronous support include:

- Low speed WAN aggregation (up to 128 Kbps),
- Dial-up modem support,
- Async or Sync connections to management ports of other equipment,
- Transport of legacy protocols such as Bi-sync and SDLC.
HWIC-4ESW Cisco HWIC-4ESW module
 The HWIC-4ESW provides four switching ports.
WIC-Cover

Cisco WIC cover

 The WIC cover plate provides protection for the internal electronic components. It also helps maintain adequate cooling by normalizing airflow.

 

Network modules (NM)

Description
NM-1E Cisco NM-1E module The NM-1E features a single Ethernet port that can connect a LAN backbone which can also support either six PRI connections to aggregate ISDN lines, or 24 synchronous/asynchronous ports.
NM-1E2W Cisco NM-1E2W module (2 WIC slots) The NM-1E2W provides a single Ethernet port with two WIC slots that can support a single Ethernet LAN, together with two serial/ISDN backhaul lines, and still allow multiple serial or ISDN in the same chassis.
NM-1FE-FX

Cisco NM-1FE-FX module

 The NM-1FE-FX Module provides one Fast-Ethernet interface for use with fiber media. Ideal for a wide range of LAN applications, the Fast Ethernet network modules support many internetworking features and standards. Single port network modules offer autosensing 10/100BaseTX or 100BaseFX Ethernet.
NM-1FE-TX

Cisco NM-1FE-TX module

 The NM-1FE-TX Module provides one Fast-Ethernet interface for use with copper media. Ideal for a wide range of LAN applications, the Fast Ethernet network modules support many internetworking features and standards. Single port network modules offer autosensing 10/100BaseTX or 100BaseFX Ethernet. The TX (copper) version supports virtual LAN (VLAN) deployment.
NM-1FE2W Cisco NM-1FE2W module (2 WIC slots) The NM-1FE2W Module provides one Fast-Ethernet interface for use with copper media, in addition to two Wan Interface Card expansion slots. Ideal for a wide range of LAN applications, the Fast Ethernet network modules support many internetworking features and standards. Single port network modules offer autosensing 10/100BaseTX or 100BaseFX Ethernet. The TX (copper) version supports virtual LAN (VLAN) deployment.
NM-2E2W The NM-2E2W provides two Ethernet ports with two WIC slots that can support two Ethernet LANs, together with two serial/ISDN backhaul lines, and still allow multiple serial or ISDN in the same chassis.
NM-2FE2W The NM-2FE2W Module provides two Fast-Ethernet interfaces for use with copper media, in addition to two Wan Interface Card expansion slots. Ideal for a wide range of LAN applications, the Fast Ethernet network modules support many internetworking features and standards.

NM-2W

 The NM-2W Module provides two WAN Interface Card expansion slots. It can be used with a broad range of interface cards, supporting a diverse array of physical media and network protocols.
NM-4A/S Cisco NM-4AS module The 4-port asynchronous/synchronous serial network module provides flexible multi-protocol support, with each port individually configurable in synchronous or asynchronous mode, offering mixed-media dial support in a single chassis. Applications for Asynchronous/Synchronous support include: Low speed WAN aggregation (up to 128 Kbps), dial-up modem support, Async or Sync connections to management ports of other equipment, and transport of legacy protocols such as Bi-sync and SDLC.
NM-4E The NM-4E features four Ethernet ports for multifunction solutions that require higher-density Ethernet than the mixed-media network modules.
NM-8A/S The 8-port asynchronous/synchronous serial network module provides flexible multi-protocol support, with each port individually configurable in synchronous or asynchronous mode, offering mixed-media dial support in a single chassis. Applications for Asynchronous/Synchronous support include: Low speed WAN aggregation (up to 128 Kbps), dial-up modem support, Async or Sync connections to management ports of other equipment, and transport of legacy protocols such as Bi-sync and SDLC.
NM-8AM Cisco NM-8AM module The NM-8AM Integrated V.92 analog modem network module provides cost-effective analog telephone service connectivity for lower-density remote-access service (RAS), dial-out and fax-out modem access, asynchronous dial-on-demand routing (DDR) plus dial backup, and remote router management. Both the 8-port and 16-port versions use RJ-11 jacks to connect the integrated modems to basic analog telephone lines on the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or private telephony systems.
