Cisco MEM-CIP-128M enterprise networking (router/Catalyst switch/UCS families) Telecom System Card / Module

The Cisco MEM-CIP-128M is a 128MB DRAM upgrade kit for the Channel Interface Processor (CIP) card, fitted in Cisco 7000/7500 Series routers. The CIP provides mainframe channel connectivity (ESCON/Bus-and-Tag) from the router into a mainframe environment, and its onboard DRAM buffers and manages that channel traffic; a memory upgrade increases the number of concurrent channel connections and buffering headroom the CIP can support, which matters as mainframe channel workloads scale. This kit is a routine spare for existing CIP-equipped 7000/7500 deployments needing more channel capacity or headroom, rather than a full card replacement. Confirm your specific CIP model and current memory configuration before ordering, since CIP memory options varied across the card’s production life. This is a refurbished unit, shipped worldwide from Tech-Star’s UK stock.
