Cisco interface cards are classified according to the technologies they support. For example, WAN interface cards (WICs) support WAN technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet, and voice interface cards (VICs) support voice technologies. Voice/WAN interface cards (VWICs) can support voice, data, and voice and data applications, depending on the capabilities of the router in which the VWIC is installed. Enhanced High-speed WAN interface cards (EHWIC) provide expanded LAN and WAN capabilities, such as Gigabit Ethernet and Ethernet switching.
- HWIC offers better usage with maximum efficiency and convenience
- With 1000Base-T technology, get up to 1000Mbps data transfer rate over twisted pair cable
- Gigabit Ethernet port for ultra-fast network speeds
- Supports cost-efficient twisted pair cables for high-speed data transfer up to 100 meters
- HWIC with data networking application/usage for reliability and maximum efficiency
