The Cisco NM-8T1-IMA is a Cisco Network Module designed to provide high-performance connectivity with its expansion of 8 T1 ports. It supports the Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) protocol, which allows multiple T1 circuits to be combined into a single bandwidth-efficient connection. This module is engineered for use in Cisco platforms, enhancing connectivity and network scalability in enterprise environments.
Each of the 8 T1 ports on the NM-8T1-IMA supports speeds up to 1.544 Mbps, giving you the ability to efficiently manage multiple voice, data, or video streams across long distances. The T1 links are capable of supporting both channelised and unchannelised transmission, allowing it to meet diverse communication needs.
The Cisco NM-8T1-IMA also enables the integration of Layer 2 and Layer 3 network services, making it ideal for WAN aggregation applications. Consistent ATM performance is achieved through IMA, a key feature that allows for optimised traffic distribution across T1 circuits. By splitting the ATM cells evenly across the T1 links, the module helps to minimise congestion and simplifies large-scale network management.
This module is typically deployed in environments needing to interconnect multiple branches or locations under a Cisco-qualified routing environment. Its support for IMA allows administrators to enhance bandwidth utilisation and decrease operational costs through more efficient line usage.
