The Features And Remarks With Gigabit Interface Converter(GBIC) Transceiver

---

 

GBIC transceiver is short term for the Gigabit Interface
Converter, it is a media conversion device between Gigabit Ethernet and fiber
optic networks, using this single device, connections can be made using single-
or multi-mode fiber optic ports as well as copper wiring. You’ll be able to
benefit from it in many point-to-point communications applications that involve
interconnecting components and exchanging data between Ethernet and fiber optic
networks. Through the GBIC transceiver, Gigabit network equipment can directly
connect with copper wires, single mode fiber ports or multimode fiber ports.

 

Features:

 

The GBIC
design can be used as hot-swap. GBIC is interchangeable products meet
international standards. Gigabit switch with GBIC interface designed interchangeable
flexible, take into account a big market share in the market. GBIC Series
product specifications are complete, including 850nm, 1310nm, 1550nm
,1470-1610nm four series. Requirements, all products happen to be rigorously
tested, fully fulfill the IEEE 802.3z and GBIC-rev-5.5 standard, the
performance targets were met or exceeded standards suitable for Gigabit Switch
companies are able to use the Cisco whole number of switches and 3COM, INTEL,
ALCATEL, AVAYA, EXTREME brand switches as well as other switches comply with
GBIC specification.

 

GBIC
transceiver being a objective of the input / output transceivers. Its one end
is inserted into the Gigabit Ethernet ports, for example port network switching
equipment. However, attached to said transceiver towards the optical fiber
network, usually through an optical fiber jumper. The apparatus characterized
by the features, including wavelength, it could be processed, and how
efficiently transmit data, the ability needs to operate, and the distance it could
transmit data. These are the basic main things to consider when selecting a
GBIC transceivers, to make sure that it meets the requirements of network
performance.

 

The GBIC
has become a standard form factor optical transceivers, and can support many
different physical media, from traditional copper long-wave single-mode optical
fiber length of a couple of hundred kilometers. GBIC is definitely an
attractive, because of its flexibility, the typical network equipment. The
different optical technology deployed inside the network, IT personnel can get
gbic module needs a specific kind of link. The GBIC standard drive flexibility
to cut back costs and provide greater flexibility for IT administrators. The
GBIC standard non-proprietary and SFF-8053i files defined by the SFF Committee.

 

Remarks:

 

When
install the GBIC modules, please be aware on the alignment groove at the side
of the transceiver, and make sure it fit for that Ethernet interface slot and
try the insertion, sometimes you may have to transform it 180 degrees to fit
for the interface.

 

Although
GBIC fiber optic transceiver modules are plug and play, we recommend you
disconnect all the fiber optic patch cords connected to it before you install
or eliminate it.
