Model Name : EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU
Brand : Cisco
Key Features:
Cisco EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU is a 1-port dual-mode Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Card (EHWIC) that supports both SFP-based fiber transceivers and RJ-45 copper connections.
Designed for Cisco ISR G2 routers (such as the 1900, 2900, and 3900 series), this card offers superior flexibility for connecting to either fiber-based WAN circuits or copper Ethernet networks using a single port.
The card supports a wide range of Cisco SFP modules (SX, LX, ZX, etc.) and also has a built-in RJ-45 connector for standard Cat5e/6 Gigabit connections.
The port is shared, meaning only one media type (SFP or RJ45) can be active at a time.
A: Supported on Cisco ISR G2 platforms: 1900, 2900, and 3900 Series.
A: No. The port is shared, and only one interface (RJ45 or SFP) can be active at a time.
A: Yes, SFP modules are hot-swappable. However, the card itself is not hot-swappable.
A: Compatible with Cisco 1000BASE SFPs like: GLC-T (Copper) GLC-SX-MM (Short-range fiber) GLC-LH-SM (Long-range fiber) GLC-ZX-SM (Extended-range fiber)
A: Yes. It can function as LAN or WAN depending on the IOS and network design.
