Cisco WIC-1ADSL enterprise networking (router/Catalyst switch/UCS families) Router Line Card

The Cisco WIC-1ADSL is a 1-port ADSL WAN Interface Card fitted into the WIC slot of Cisco’s 1700, 2600 and 3600 series modular routers, providing an ADSL-over-POTS interface for connecting a branch router directly to a DSL circuit rather than through a separate external modem. It supports ADSL full-rate and G.lite standards with downstream speeds of up to 8Mbps, making it a common choice for small-office and branch routers using DSL as their primary or backup WAN connection. The card fits alongside Ethernet and other WIC-based interfaces in the same chassis. These routers remain in service across many established small-branch WAN deployments, and a genuine spare such as this restores a failed ADSL WAN link. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Cisco WAN interface cards for engineers maintaining these platforms.
