CHAPTER 1
Router Hardware Description and Specifications
This section describes the major hardware features of the Cisco Catalyst Industrial Router 8140 Heavy Duty
Series Router (also identified as Cisco Catalyst IR8140H), including the chassis, internal and external connectors
and ports, and hardware specifications.
These topics are discussed:
•Router Overview, on page 1
•Specifications, on page 12
Router Overview
Router Applications Overview
The Cisco Catalyst IR8140H is a ruggedized communication platform, designed for use in Field Area Network
(FAN) power distribution grids that require outdoor, pole-mounted routers. The FAN is a distribution system
in which power generation and transmission are linked to the power consumers.
The router provides an end-to-end communication network that enables increased power grid efficiency and
reliability, reduced energy consumption, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The router can be leveraged
across applications including:
• Smart transportation and roadways
• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
• Distribution Automation (DA)
• Integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
• Remote Workforce Automation
• Smart Lighting
The router provides reliable and secure real-time communication between the FAN systems and the numerous
devices that exist on the FAN, including meters, sensors, protection relays, Intelligent Electronic Devices
(IEDs), plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging stations, and distributed solar farms. Network data is forwarded
and processed over secure communication links between devices within the distribution grid for local decision
processing.

Router Hardware Overview: Exterior
The Cisco Catalyst IR8140H router is a modular chassis with four external module slots.
Do not leave module slots unsealed as it can damage the router when exposed to the elements outdoors. You
can use a slot cover when the module is not populated. See Accessories, on page 11.
Note
Slot 0 faces downward and is referred to as a super slot as it is the largest slot of the four module slots within
the IR8140H.
The super slot is reserved for the CPU module and is found at the bottom right of the IR8140H. The other
three slots support Universal Interface Modules (UIMs).

Universal Interface Module (UIM) with two antennas (item 3). The antenna (4) is part
of the module.
This is one of three UIM slots that are available for Industrial Router modules that
provide connectivity to Neighborhood Area Networks (NAN) endpoints and to the
Wide-Area Networks (WAN) for connectivity to the utility control center.
IR8140H supports the following Universal Interface Modules (UIMs):
• IRMH-WPAN module (WPAN Module. Normally installed in the downward
facing slot: slot 1)
•IRMH-LTE module (LTE Module. Normally installed in one of the upward facing
slots: slot 2 or slot 3)
• IRMH-LTEA module (LTE Advanced Module. Normally installed in one of the
upward facing slots: slot 2 or slot 3)
