The DC product range offer a cost effective way of connecting Router Serial WAN Interface cards (or similar information sources) to leased line circuits such as E1 G.703 2Mbps, e.g. BT Megastream-2 service. This conversion is performed transparently and so is independent of protocol or router configuration. Various serial port types and leased line connector combinations options are available. These products are available as standalone modem style units, can be rack mounted using either a 1U two unit rackmount kit, a 6U eighteen unit rackmount kit, or are available in a 1U quad box version (which contains 4 x DC products).
