Cisco NM-2FE2W enterprise networking (router/Catalyst switch/UCS families) Router Line Card

The Cisco NM-2FE2W is a combination network module for Cisco’s 2600, 3600 and 3700 series modular routers, providing two 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports plus two WAN Interface Card (WIC) slots on a single module. It lets a router combine dual-LAN connectivity with flexible WAN interfaces, such as serial, ISDN or ADSL WICs fitted into the module’s own slots, in one network-module bay rather than needing separate Ethernet and WAN modules. This combination format was a common way to add branch-office LAN/WAN capacity to a chassis without consuming multiple slots. These routers remain in service across many established branch networks, and a genuine spare such as this restores full LAN/WAN capacity after a module failure. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Cisco network modules for engineers maintaining these platforms.
