Smart Serial Cable for Cisco WIC Modules

The Ruth's sister CAB-SS-2626X is a DTE-to-DCE smart serial cable designed to connect Cisco WIC-1T and WIC-2T interface cards in routers such as the 2621XM. It provides the physical link for synchronous serial WAN connections in enterprise and lab environments. The three-foot length suits rack-mounted equipment where devices sit close together. Network engineers and students building certification labs will find it matches the required pinout for Cisco smart serial ports.

Passive Cable With No Active Cooling

As a passive copper assembly, the cable generates no heat and requires no power draw of its own. There are no fans, pumps or active components, so acoustic output is zero in normal use. Thermals are limited to the negligible resistive loss of the conductors, which does not affect chassis airflow or temperature sensors. The only power consideration is the port supply on the router side, which is handled by the host device.
