1 GBPS Gigabit Ethernet

HWIC-1GE-SFP Overview

The Cisco HWIC-1GE-SFP is a High-Speed WAN Interface Card (HWIC) that provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to Cisco 2800 Series routers. Designed to enhance the network capabilities of these routers, this interface card offers a reliable and high-speed connection for various applications. The “1GE” in its name stands for “1 Gigabit Ethernet,” which indicates its impressive data transfer rate of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps).
This HWIC comes with one SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) slot, allowing users to insert compatible SFP modules. SFPs are hot-swappable, meaning you can replace them without powering down the router, providing flexibility and scalability to your network setup.
