The SM-X-NIM-ADPTR is a Cisco network interface module (NIM) adapter designed for use with the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR). It allows for the installation of network interface modules (NIMs) or enhanced service modules (SMs) in the SM-X form factor.
The SM-X-NIM-ADPTR serves as a carrier card that enables the integration of various NIMs and SMs into the Cisco ISR platform. It provides the necessary mechanical and electrical connectivity to support the modules, allowing for easy expansion and customization of the router’s capabilities.
By using the SM-X-NIM-ADPTR, organizations can take advantage of the wide range of NIMs and SMs available to enhance their network functionality. NIMs offer additional connectivity options such as Ethernet, T1/E1, serial, and more, while SMs provide advanced services like voice, security, and acceleration features.
The adapter is designed to fit into the service module slots of the Cisco ISR 4000 Series routers and provides a secure and reliable connection between the modules and the router. It ensures proper alignment and compatibility, enabling seamless integration of the modules into the router’s architecture.
Overall, the SM-X-NIM-ADPTR is an essential component for expanding the capabilities of Cisco ISR 4000 Series routers. It allows organizations to leverage the flexibility and scalability of NIMs and SMs, enabling them to adapt their network infrastructure to meet evolving business needs.
