Customers no longer need to buy a specific module for T1 support and then another card for E1 connectivity. In addition, the same modules provide for balanced (120-ohm) and unbalanced (75-ohm) E1 termination. A cable adapter is available to adapt the card to your environment. See Table 3 for an overview of recommended replacement products.
