In a multi-site enterprise environment, IT teams deploy the PA-2FE-TX: Cisco 7200 Series 2-Port Fast Ethernet 100Base TX Port Adapter to establish redundant 100 Mbps WAN links between branch offices and the corporate data center. By aggregating two Fast Ethernet interfaces and leveraging built-in failover capabilities, organizations achieve uninterrupted connectivity, simplified network management, and seamless integration with existing MPLS or Ethernet services.
Data center architects leverage the PA-2FE-TX adapter to partition critical application traffic across isolated VLANs on a Cisco 7200 router. With dual 100Base-TX ports, teams can dedicate one interface to production workloads and the other to a DMZ or management network, enforcing hardware-level separation and reducing broadcast domains. The outcome is enhanced security, granular traffic control, and optimized network performance.
Communications managers implement the PA-2FE-TX on Cisco 7200 platforms to support high-quality VoIP trunk connections between voice gateways and core switches. The adapter’s 100 Mbps throughput and Cisco IOS QoS features minimize jitter and packet loss, ensuring crystal-clear voice calls and consistent user experience. Businesses benefit from scalable call capacity, reduced latency, and simplified deployment of unified communications services.

The PA-2FE-TX is an official Cisco Network Module that provides two 10/100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet RJ-45 ports for Catalyst 7200 series routers, enabling high-performance WAN/LAN connectivity.
The PA-2FE-TX is compatible with Cisco 7200, 7201, 7202 and 7505 routers that have an available Network Module slot and running a supported Cisco IOS release.
It offers two auto-MDI/MDIX 10/100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet ports, full/half-duplex support, IEEE 802.3x flow control, and hot-swappable installation for continuous operation.
The PA-2FE-TX supports 10 Mb/s half-duplex, 10/100 Mb/s full-duplex, and 100 Mb/s half-duplex per IEEE 802.3u specifications.
It uses Category 5 or higher UTP cables terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors on each Fast Ethernet port.
100Base-TX on the PA-2FE-TX supports up to 100 meters of Cat5 (or better) UTP cable between the router and the remote device.
The adapter consumes approximately 10 W, operates between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 °F–104 °F), and supports 10%–90% non-condensing humidity.
Power off the router, insert the PA-2FE-TX into an empty Network Module slot, secure it with the retention screws, power on, and verify module detection via the IOS.
The PA-2FE-TX is supported on Cisco IOS 12.0 and later releases with the Network Module feature set for the 7200 series.
Use IOS commands like show diag, show controllers fastethernet, or show interface to confirm port status, link integrity, and traffic statistics.
