Cisco PA-2H= - Port adapter - Bedraad

The High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) port adapter PA-2H is available on Cisco 7200 series routers, on second-generation Versatile Interface Processors (VIP2s) in Cisco 7500 series routers, and on Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI).\n\nThe PA-2H provides two high-speed synchronous serial interfaces that support full-duplex and data rates up to 52 Mbps.\n\nThe PA-2H conforms to the BABT/TC/130, EIA/TIA-612, and EIA/TIA-613 standards for HSSI. The PA-2H provides two interfaces. Each interface provides a full-duplex high-speed synchronous serial interface (HSSI) for transmitting and receiving data at rates of up to 52 megabits per second (Mbps).\n\nThe HSSI, which has been standardized as EIA/TIA 612/613, provides access to services at T3 (45 Mbps), E3 (34 Mbps), and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) STS-1 (51.82 Mbps) rates. The actual rate of the interface depends on the external DSU and the type of service to which it is connected.\n\nEach HSSI port on the PA-2H is a female 50-pin SCSI-II-type receptacle. You must use an HSSI interface cable from Cisco Systems to connect the interface to an external data service unit (DSU).
