The Cisco C898EA-K9, categorised as the Cisco 898G SHDSL ATM/EFM Multimode 1GE/SFP Security Router (RFB), is specifically designed for WAN connections in enterprise environments. It presents both SHDSL and Ethernet technologies for versatile connectivity, making it extremely adaptable for businesses requiring robust wide-area networking solutions. This router operates within ATM and EFM modes, allowing it to support different protocols and optimise network speeds according to the specific needs of the application.
The device includes a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, further enhancing its capability to manage high-speed operations, which makes it an excellent choice for offices demanding a stable and fast internet connection. There is also provision for an SFP fibre slot, enabling the router to use fibre-based connections for even higher bandwidth support, thereby providing flexibility between copper and fibre media.
Security features are prioritised, as this security router also supports VPN functionality, ensuring secure data transmission over the internet. Its security measures further extend to encryption and firewall capabilities that protect the network from potential external security threats, making it ideal for environments that need stringent data security. The device is compact and designed to deliver performance capable of meeting the demands of business or branch office environments.
The model is marked as an RFB unit (refurbished by the manufacturer), which confirms that it has been restored to full working condition by the original equipment manufacturer and comes with the same reliability assured by the standard Cisco branded devices, albeit at a more attractive price point than a new unit.
