Cisco GBICS - Compatibility Summed Up |
 |
|
|
First, you will need to know exactly what a Cisco GBIC is. Cisco GBICS are Gigabit Interface Converters that are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a Gigabit Ethernet slot or port. There are many interface types of Cisco GBICS including 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, or 1000BASE-CWDM. Lets go over some of these Cisco GBIC interfaces.
Types of Cisco GBIC Interfaces:
CISCO 1000BASE-T GBIC
The Cisco 1000BASE-T GBIC (product number WS-G5483) connects a GBIC port to Category 5 wiring via a standard RJ-45 interface. The maximum Category 5 wiring distance is 328 feet (100 meters). For details, see the Cisco 1000BASE-T Gigabit Interface Converter Data Sheet.
CISCO 1000BASE-SX GBIC
The Cisco 1000BASE-SX GBIC (WS-G5484) operates on ordinary multimode fiber (MMF) optic link spans up to 1815 feet (550 m) long.
CISCO 1000BASE-LX/LH GBIC
The Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LH GBIC (WS-G5486) fully complies with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard. However, its higher optical quality allows it to reach 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) over single-mode fiber (SMF), compared with the 3.1 miles (5 km) specified in the standard.
CISCO 1000BASE-ZX GBIC
The Cisco 1000BASE-ZX GBIC (WS-G5487) operates on ordinary single-mode fiber optic link spans up to 43.4 miles (70 km) long. Link spans of up to 62 miles (100 km) are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion shifted single-mode fiber. The GBIC provides an optical link budget of 23 dB-the precise link span length will depend on multiple factors such as fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors.
