Cisco 72-0671-02 10" DTE Male Serial Cable DB60 Router WAN Interface New

The Cisco 72-0671-02 is a 10-inch DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) male serial cable with a DB60 connector, designed for use with Cisco router WAN interface cards. It connects a Cisco router's serial WAN port to external WAN equipment such as CSU/DSUs, multiplexers, or other DCE devices, allowing the router to function as the DTE end of a synchronous serial connection.

Applications

Cisco serial WAN cables like the 72-0671-02 are used to connect Cisco routers equipped with serial WAN interface cards (WICs) to external WAN gear — most commonly a CSU/DSU or channel bank on a leased-line, T1, or Frame Relay circuit. The DB60 connector is a proprietary Cisco format that mates with the router's WAN card port; the opposite end (not this cable's role) would connect to the DCE device. These cables remain in active use in legacy Cisco WAN deployments, lab environments, and network testbeds where older Cisco 1700, 2600, 2800, 3600, or 3800 series routers with serial WAN cards are still in service.
