Cisco Cable High-Speed WAN Interface Cards

The Cisco

integrated Cable high-speed WAN interface cards (HWICs) provide lower total cost of

ownership, advanced quality-of-service (QoS) enforcement, and advanced monitoring and load-balancing

capabilities for customers by optionally integrating a DOCSIS 2.0-based cable modem within a Cisco

Integrated Services Router (ISR) or Cisco IAD2430 Series Integrated Access Device.

Additionally, the new Cisco Cable HWICs greatly expand the portfolio of managed business-class cable

services cable operators can offer to their small and medium sized business (SMB) and enterprise

customers. The Cisco ISRs and Cisco IAD2430 Series can be coupled with the cable HWIC to provide a

range of services, including security, IP Communications, switching, wireless LAN management and

connectivity, WAN optimization, and much more.

Overview

The new Cable HWICs (HWIC-CABLE-D-2 and HWIC-CABLE-E/J-2) are designed to comply with DOCSIS 2.0,

Euro-DOCSIS 2.0, and J-DOCSIS 2.0 specifications and provide single-port cable modem connectivity for the Cisco

modular integrated services routers and the Cisco IAD2430 series routers to the cable operator WAN. These cable

HWICs (Figure 1), combined with the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers; Cisco 1841 and

1941 Integrated Services Routers and Cisco IAD2430 Series provide high-speed digital data transmission between

customer premises equipment (CPE) and a central office. This enables cable service providers and resellers to offer

additional services by supporting features for business-class security, voice integration, differentiated classes of

service (CoS), and managed network access with Cisco IOS® Software. These value-added features, along with the

manageability and reliability of Cisco IOS Software technology, provide the mission-critical networking that

businesses require.

Both the 1-port DOCSIS-based cable HWIC and the one-port Euro/J-DOCSIS-based cable HWIC cards provide a

single F-connector for broadband connectivity. The cable HWICs are supported starting with Cisco IOS Software

Release 12.4(11)T. Cable operators can use the Cisco ISRs and Cisco IAD2430 Series when combined with the

cable HWICs to provide a vast array of business services, including voice, video, data, security, wireless, switching,

and content caching over the DOCSIS network.

The cable HWICs embedded in the Cisco IOS Software routers provide an integrated solution for a cost-effective

alternative to leased lines, ISDN, or xDSL services for critical primary WAN links or backup solutions. Cable service

providers and enterprise customers can also benefit from ease of deployment and management by deploying an
