The Cisco NIM-VAB-A is a multi-mode DSL network interface module supporting VDSL2, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ over Annex A copper lines in Cisco ISR routers.
It supports ITU-T G.993.2 (VDSL2), ITU-T G.992.3 (ADSL2), and ITU-T G.992.5 (ADSL2+) to deliver flexible broadband connectivity.
Customers can achieve downstream speeds up to 100 Mbps on VDSL2 and 24 Mbps on ADSL2+, with upstream rates up to 100 Mbps and 3 Mbps, respectively.
Annex A refers to the DSL frequency plan optimized for POTS lines in North America and Europe, ensuring compatibility with standard telephone networks.
The NIM-VAB-A is compatible with Cisco ISR 4000, 3900, 2900, and 1900 series routers equipped with a Network Interface Module slot.
Yes. The module is hot-swappable, allowing insertion or removal without powering down the router for uninterrupted service.
Slide the NIM-VAB-A into an available NIM slot until it clicks, secure with screws, and connect the DSL line per router guidelines.
Configuration is performed via the Cisco IOS CLI or web-based interface, using standard DSL commands like 'dsl operating-mode' and 'dsl line-rate'.
Yes. The module supports on-demand diagnostics such as SNR margin, line attenuation, and error statistics through IOS 'show dsl' commands.
LED indicators display link status, synchronization state, data activity, and module health for at-a-glance operational monitoring.
The NIM-VAB-A consumes up to 10 W and operates between 0 °C and 40 °C with up to 85% relative humidity (non-condensing).
It holds CE, FCC, UL, and RoHS certifications and complies with GR-1089 and ETSI electromagnetic compatibility standards for carrier-grade use.
The module requires Cisco IOS XE 16.9.1 or later on the host router to enable full functionality and stability.
Upgrade firmware via the router’s IOS CLI using the 'archive download-sw' command or the Cisco DNA Center software management platform.
NIM-VAB-A includes a limited lifetime warranty and is eligible for 24/7 technical support through Cisco TAC with a valid service contract.
