HWIC-2SHDSL 2-pair G.SHDSL HWIC
Cisco Integrated Services Routers offer a wide variety of WAN connectivity modules to accommodate the range of application needs in customer networks. The Cisco 2- and 4-Pair Symmetric High-Bit-Rate DSL High-Speed WAN Interface Cards offer G.SHDSL based WAN connectivity for modular routers deployed in small to medium-sized businesses and enterprise branch offices.
The 2-pair (HWIC-2SHDSL) and 4-pair (HWIC-4SHDSL) symmetric high-bit-rate DSL high-speed WAN interface cards (HWICs) provide G.SHDSL connectivity to a Wide Area Network. The 4-pair symmetric G.SHDSL HWIC provides two ports of 4-wire or four ports of 2-wire connectivity options, whereas the 2-pair G.SHDSL HWIC provides two ports of 2-wire or one port of 4-wire connectivity options. The 4-pair symmetric G.SHDSL HWIC also allows bonding single or dual-pair G.SHDSL ports up to a single 8-wire interface with increased bandwidth by using Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) or data interleaving with M-pair mode. These cards are supported in all integrated services routers that have HWIC slots.
