Cisco HCO-ADPT-MW-SIA Third-Party Microwave SIA Adapter

Connect third-party microwave equipment to the applicable Cisco HCO environment using an adapter marked with the SIA designation. The HCO-ADPT-MW-SIA accessory is for the microwave connection point, not for routing, switching, wireless client access, or radio transmission. Its role is to provide the designated hardware interface where a deployment requires an HCO-compatible third-party microwave adapter. Use this accessory when the network design calls out an SIA microwave adapter and the installed equipment includes a third-party microwave component. The adapter belongs at the integration boundary between the HCO deployment and that component. It is therefore relevant to projects extending network connectivity by microwave transport, where the physical interface selection must match the microwave equipment and the intended HCO architecture. Selection hinges on the SIA designation and third-party microwave scope rather than on port count or standalone appliance features. That focus separates it from general network accessories: it addresses a specific microwave integration relationship. Keep the receiving microwave hardware, mounting approach, cabling, and any required supporting equipment aligned with the site design. Select the accessory where the required interface calls for this SIA microwave-adapter configuration.
