The Cisco High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) serial adapter with part number HWIC-4T-RF is a versatile hardware component designed to integrate with compatible Cisco routers. It provides four high-speed synchronous/asynchronous serial interfaces, making it ideal for connecting to WAN networks requiring reliable and efficient data transmission. This adapter supports a variety of protocols and enables the connection of several remote branch locations or devices to a centralized router, offering both scalability and flexibility.
One of the key features of the HWIC-4T-RF is its support for speeds up to 2.048 Mbps on synchronous links. The card supports protocols such as HDLC and PPP, which are commonly used in WAN environments. This makes it highly suited for enterprise-level setups and branch networks that require robust and consistent connectivity. Additionally, the interface card can be used in both synchronous and asynchronous modes, enabling a wide range of potential applications across different network topologies.
The four ports utilize universal high-density 60-pin D-sub connections, and external cabling can adapt these to common standards such as V.35, RS-232, and X.21. Its compact design allows easy installation into supported Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs), ensuring that it integrates smoothly without requiring excessive space. The card is also highly durable, ensuring a standard of reliability expected from Cisco hardware.
Compatible with Cisco’s ISR Gen 1 and Gen 2, the HWIC-4T-RF adds critical serial interface capabilities to your WAN infrastructure, supporting both legacy and modern protocol standards. This makes the card useful for a variety of networking applications, whether for data management, telemetry, or basic internet connectivity in remote locations.
