Gigabit Interface Converter Installation Note
78-5399-03 Rev. A0
Overview
Overview
The GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port, linking the
module port with the fiber-optic network. There are two physical GBIC models available; one model
has a locking handle that secures the GBIC in the module; the other model uses two clips, one on each
side of the GBIC, that secure the GBIC in the module. GBICs are also available in three optical models.
The three optical models differ in the distance light can be sent through a fiber-optic network. The two
physical models are shown in Figure 1. The three optical models are listed in Table 1.
Figure 1 Physical GBIC Models
Table 1 is a list of the available GBIC optical models.
WS-G5484
The WS-G5484 GBIC (1000BASE-SX) operates on ordinary multimode fiber (MMF) link spans of up
to 1804 feet (550 meters) in length (See Table 5 on page 4).
WS-G5486
The WS-G5486 GBIC (1000BASE-LX/LH) interfaces fully comply with the IEEE 802.3z
1000BASE-LX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 10 km over
single-mode fiber (SMF) versus the 5 km specified in 802.3z.
