4GECS (4-Port GE Combo WAN Interface Card)
Card Overview
The 4GECS is a gigabit WAN access module. It provides four combo interfaces, which consist of four GE electrical interfaces and four GE optical interfaces on the panel. You can connect to the WAN through electrical or optical interfaces flexibly.
A 4GECS card can be installed in a WSIC slot of a router.
Figure 7-54 shows the appearance of a 4GECS card.

4GECS NOTE:
This card is supported in V200R005C10 and later versions. For AR1200 series and AR2200 series, when this card is used on a router, the minimum bandwidth and maximum bandwidth supported by the card are both 1 Gbit/s, due to the backplane bandwidth restriction. For AR3200 series and AR3600 series, when this card is used on a router, the minimum bandwidth and maximum bandwidth supported by the card are 1 Gbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s, respectively, due to the backplane bandwidth restriction. |

GE combo interface
- The GE electrical interface (10/100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing) transmits and receives services at 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, or 1000 Mbit/s. It must be used with an Ethernet Cable.
- The GE optical interface (100/1000 Mbit/s auto-sensing) transmits and receives services at 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s. It must be used with the fiber and optical module. The following optical modules are supported:
A combo interface works in auto mode and automatically works as an optical or electrical interface by default.
