The Cisco 7200 Series PA-A6-T3 is a single-port enhanced ATM DS3 adapter designed to deliver up to 45 Mbps of ATM connectivity in a modular router chassis.
The PA-A6-T3 is supported on Cisco 7200 Series routers with an Expansion Slot 2 and requires Cisco IOS software Release 12.0 or later.
The adapter provides a full-duplex DS3 link with a maximum throughput of 44.736 Mbps over ATM.
It supports ATM traffic management, AAL5, PVCs, SVCs, UNI 3.1/4.0, Frame Relay, and QoS features under Cisco IOS.
Power off the router, insert the adapter into Expansion Slot 2, secure it with the captive screws, and power on the router to auto-detect the module.
Use a male BNC cable for coaxial DS3 connectivity or a BNC-to-RJ48C breakout cable for terminal block connections.
In global configuration mode, use 'interface atm0/0', set 'encapsulation atm aal5snap', configure 'ds3-clock internal' or 'ds3-clock line', and apply PVC settings.
The PA-A6-T3 consumes up to 25W and operates in 0–40°C with humidity up to 90% non-condensing.
Use 'show controllers atm 0/0' and 'show interfaces atm0/0' to check interface status, errors, and link synchronization.
Yes, it supports Cisco IOS QoS including traffic shaping, congestion avoidance, and CBWFQ on ATM PVCs.
The adapter measures 18.3 cm x 2.5 cm x 23.8 cm (W x H x D) and weighs approximately 0.5 kg.
Cisco provides a limited lifetime warranty covering hardware defects and includes access to Cisco’s technical support services.
Authorized Cisco resellers, the Cisco online store, and leading network equipment distributors stock the PA-A6-T3.
The PA-A6-T3 is currently active, with no announced end-of-life date; refer to Cisco’s EOL policy page for updates.
Only one PA-A6-T3 can be installed per Cisco 7200 router, due to slot and backplane bandwidth limitations.
Cisco offers technical support contracts, online documentation, configuration guides, and access to the Cisco Support Community.
