Cisco 32-Port Asynchronous Network Module (NM-32A)
Brand: Cisco · SKU: NM-32A · MPN: NM-32A= · Category: Components
The Cisco NM-32A is a plug-in network module developed for Cisco routers, offering 32 asynchronous RS-232 ports for terminal and modem connections. It supports hardware and software flow control, a maximum data rate of up to 134.4 kbps per port (supporting V.34 speeds at up to 4x compression), and various data, stop bit, and parity configurations. The module is designed for access server applications and environments requiring high-density serial connections. It utilizes 68-pin OCTAL Cables (like CAB-OCTAL-ASYNC= or CAB-OCTAL-MODEM=) to terminate the 32 EIA/TIA-232 (RS-232) DTE serial interfaces. It is often used for out-of-band connectivity to console ports. It has an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours.
