Reduced Footprint
If you are using multiple 1- or 2-port T1/E1 modules for n x T1/E1 connectivity, you can now replace the modules with a single Cisco 4-Port Clear Channel T1/E1 HWIC, and you can make the HWIC slots available for other interfaces and services. If you use a single T1/E1 today and plan to scale up to 4 T1/E1 modules in the future, you can install the 4-port HWIC today and turn on the additional T1/E1 ports as you need them.
Deployment Flexibility
The Cisco 4-Port Clear Channel T1/E1 HWIC is software-configurable between E1 or T1 operation, balanced or unbalanced E1 termination, and CSU/DSU. You no longer need to buy a specific module for T1 support and then another card for E1 connectivity. If you have branch offices across the world, ordering, inventory and management are much simplified.
- HWIC offers better usage with maximum efficiency and convenience
- With T1/E1 technology, enjoy up to 2.048Mbps (E-carrier) or 1.544Mbps (T-carrier) data transfer rate over service provider link
- Wide Area Network hwic makes it possible to communicate internally faster and more efficiently
