Smart Serial Cabling
The 4-Port Serial High-Speed WAN Interface Card and 4-Port Asynchronous/Synchronous High-Speed WAN Interface Card each have four Smart
Serial ports. These ports use the same connectors and cabling as the WIC-2T and WIC-2A/S.

High-Density Synchronous/Asynchronous Cabling
The 8-Port Asynchronous/Synchronous High-Speed WAN Interface Card uses two high-density 4-port connectors. Each connector supports four
ports of EIA-232 with data communications equipment (DCE) or data terminal equipment (DTE) interfaces. All four ports on one cable use the same
DTE/DCE mode.
