In this project it is planned to present the breakout board for Cisco WAN modules. And in addition some of the ways of its usage.

The table shows some of the Cisco WAN modules and their main characteristics, such as FRGA type, memory chip, etc:

It was possible to collect a collection of Cisco WAN modules, though it took a lot of time, but little money. Each module on eBay costs from 3$ to 15$, because they aren't used in modern networks.

In the section Files you can find files with the pinout of the Edge connector and SSRAM.

I'd love to find a way to use my VA-DSL-A as a standalone modem as I need something with lower power consumption AND a small form factor. No one makes an ADSL2/VDSL modem in such a small package that I'm aware of. :/

If OP is interested and can find one cheap like I did (around $11 shipped) I would love to know the pinout, and find out if that's possible!

  Are you sure? yes | no
