Smart Proto Cable (SPC) - Cisco Compatible Multi-Protocol Serial Cable
530A, EIA-530, RS-232, and RS-449. The options are selectable via DIP switches built into the SmartProtoCable (SPC) DB25 connector
The DTE/DCE option is selectable via a DIP switch. When the DCE option is chosen, the clocking provided by the Cisco router is passed onto the network element. When the DTE option is chosen, clocking is provided by an intervening element, i.e. modem
SmartProtoCables are stocked at many lengths. But, can also be custom manufactured to meet specific installation requirements. For shorter cables, (less than 10') the SPC eliminates the need to add cable extensions. Fewer connections improve reliability by reducing the number of possible points of failure in the network
Saves Initial Installation Time
Protocol interface can be easily changed in the field without any disassembly, precision soldering, or connector re-assembly
Saves Post Installation Time
Cable dressing does not need to be disturbed because of an interface change. Just re-option the SPC to match the desired protocol
Simplifies Ordering Process
A single cable can support up to five different interfaces. All you need to provide is the required length
Costs Less The SPC is comparably priced, and depending on the length purchased, costs less than the "single minded" Cisco Smart Serial Cable
NM-32A - High Density 32 Port Asynchronous Network Module
The NM-32A network module provide flexible, high-density asynchronous connectivity. The modules support V.34 speeds at up to 4x compression (134.4 kbps) over the asynchronous connection.
Three examples where this module can be deployed follow:
Small to medium-sized power branch offices where remote users require modem dial access; a fully configured Cisco 3845 chassis with four async network modules connected to the modem rack enables connectivity for up to 128 dial-in users
Medium-sized branch offices that require a high-density terminal server; a fully configured Cisco 3845 chassis with four async network modules connected to the modem rack (with optional custom cables) enables connectivity for up to 128 terminal connections
Telemetry applications, connecting a NM-32A module to private branch exchange (PBX) serial ports, data collection equipment, or router consoles
The NM-16A/S is a slow-speed, high-density serial network module (NM) offering asynchronous and synchronous interfaces and flexible port configuration. The NM-16A/S offers:
Synchronous interfaces that support a data rate of up to 128 kbps
Asynchronous interfaces that support a data rate of up to 115.2 kbps
Configurable data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE)
Use with the CBM Smart Proto Cables (SMARTPROTOCAB-XX)
