Cisco NM-1FE-2W enterprise networking (router/Catalyst switch/UCS families) Router Line Card

The Cisco NM-1FE-2W is a network module providing one Fast Ethernet port and two WAN interface card slots. It was one of the most common modules fitted to 2600, 3600 and 3700 series routers, because it gave a branch router its LAN handoff and left two slots free for whatever wide area cards the site needed, whether serial, ISDN, DSL or analogue. The WIC slots take the standard single-wide cards used across that generation of Cisco access hardware.

The network module and WAN interface card system was Cisco’s answer to branch office variety. A 2600, 3600, 3700 or later chassis provides slots, and the modules decide what the router actually terminates, whether that is Ethernet, ISDN, serial, DSL or an on-board service. Because the same card fits several chassis generations, these parts stayed useful long after the routers they were bought for, and they remain a routine maintenance item.
