Cisco Gigabit Ethernet High-Speed WAN Interface Cards
The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC-1GE-SFP) is a high-speed interface
card providing copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for Cisco modular access routers.
The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card provides copper and optical Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity through a small form-factor pluggable module (SFP), which is inserted into the interface
card. (See the “Installing Small Form-Factor Pluggable Modules into Cisco Gigabit Ethernet
High-Speed WAN Interface Cards” section on page 4.)
SFPs can be installed or removed without powering down the router and interface card.
