The PA-4E is a Cisco 4-port Ethernet 10BaseT port adapter with four IEEE 802.3 interfaces. Each interface allows a maximum of 10 Mbps, for 40 Mbps in total, and all four ports run at wire speed. The Cisco 7500 supports full-duplex mode on the adapter.
Connections are four individual RJ-45 receptacles, and all four can be used at once. Cable is Category 3 or Category 5 unshielded twisted pair with 22 to 24 AWG, up to 328 ft (100 m) per 10BaseT segment, and Cisco does not supply it. One ENABLE LED and one link LED per port show status.
The adapter fits a Catalyst RSM/VIP2 (port adapter slot 0 or 1), Cisco 7120 and 7140 series routers, Cisco 7200 and uBR7200 series routers, the Cisco 7301, a 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, the Cisco 7401ASR, and VIP cards. Other WAN and LAN adapters are in the Cisco interface card category.
