Product Description Product The Dual DSX-1 Network Interface Card (NIC), also known as the Short Description Haul NIC, eliminates the need for a channel service unit (CSU). Eliminating the transceiver from the connection reduces the power level on the cable, which provides a more reliable signal over shorter cable lengths.
