High-Density Asynchronous Cabling
The 8-Port Asynchronous High-Speed WAN Interface Card and 16-Port Asynchronous High-Speed WAN Interface Card use one (HWIC-8A) or
two (HWIC-16A) high-density 8-port connectors. The 8-port asynchronous cable provides the high-density connector on one end and eight RJ-45
plugs on the other. RJ-45- to DB-25 modular adapters are used to convert the RJ-45 to DB-25 DTE or DB-25 DCE connections.
