Cisco C888EA-K9-RF Multimode 4-Pair G.SHDSL Router (Remanufactured)

The Cisco C888EA-K9-RF is a remanufactured Multimode 4-Pair G.SHDSL Router, designed as a High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) for integration into Cisco Integrated Services Routers. It delivers high-performance symmetric broadband connectivity over existing copper telephone lines, supporting up to 45.6 Mbps aggregate data rate across four pairs. Ideal for enterprise branch offices and service provider deployments, this card offers flexible DSL bonding and advanced QoS features.

Advantages

This remanufactured card provides cost-effective, reliable WAN connectivity with the same performance as new units. It supports multiple DSL modes (1-pair, 2-pair, or 4-pair) and can operate as CPE or CO, making it versatile for various network topologies. The card integrates seamlessly with Cisco IOS, enabling advanced security and traffic management.
