The NM-16A/S is a Cisco 16-port asynchronous/synchronous serial network module for Cisco modular routers. It uses Smart Serial connectors, the same type as the WIC-2T, and sixteen 12-in-1 Smart Serial cables connect it to a patch panel or to asynchronous modems, terminals or other devices. Serial cables are not provided with the module.
With the matching serial transition cable, each port can provide an EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-449, V.35, X.21, EIA/TIA-530 DTE or NRZ/NRZI serial interface, and the NM-16A/S can also provide an EIA/TIA-530A DTE interface. The Async/Sync module family runs at up to 115.2 kbps async, 128 kbps sync with an external clock and 125 kbps sync with an internal clock.
A CAB-SS-SURGE surge protection cable can be fitted between the module and the 12-in-1 Smart Serial cable. To meet the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard, the module connects only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring, with a shielded cable whose shield is grounded at both ends. More router modules are in Cisco interface cards.
