Specifications

   Product Overview:
  • The Cisco WS-X2971-XL is a high-performance ATM 155 Mbps single-mode fiber (SMF) uplink module designed to extend the capabilities of Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL Series switches. Featuring a standard SC connector, this module supports medium-reach ATM connectivity over single-mode fiber, making it ideal for enterprise backbones, campus-wide fiber links, and WAN connections requiring low latency, high throughput, and long-range reach.
  • Engineered for environments where reliability and scalability are paramount, the WS-X2971-XL adheres to ATM UNI 3.1/4.0 standards, supporting features such as Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC) and ILMI (Interim Local Management Interface). This makes it a top choice for organizations running real-time services such as voice, video conferencing, and data over ATM.
  • Thanks to its plug-and-play form factor, the module is easily installed into any Catalyst 2900 XL switch, drawing power directly from the host chassis. With support for quality of service (QoS) and robust Layer 2 switching, it provides a future-ready solution for high-speed network integration across buildings or remote facilities.
