GBIC Handling Guidelines and Installation

Caution Because of interoperability issues, Cisco does not support GBICs purchased from third-party vendors.

Cisco 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 SMF cable instead of the 5 km specified in the standard.

If an LX/LH GBIC designed for operation on an SMF cable is directly coupled to an MMF cable, an effect known as Differential Mode Delay (DMD) might occur. See the Catalyst 4000 Family Module Installation Guide for more information.

Installing a GBIC

A supervisor engine can be shipped with or without GBICs installed.

Caution When removing or inserting a GBIC, always wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the ESD wrist strap connector.

Caution Unnecessary removal or insertion of a GBIC can lead to premature failure of the GBIC. A GBIC has a lifetime of 100 to 500 removals and insertions.

Note This product has been evaluated to and complies with acceptable-safety-emission limits for Class 1 lasers. However, you should still take general precautions when working with lasers.

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

To install a GBIC, follow this procedure:

Step 1 Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.

Step 2 Verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network by checking the GBIC part number. The part number indicates whether it is 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, or 1000BASE-ZX.

Step 3 Grasp the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger; insert the GBIC into the desired slot on the front of the module (see Figure 7).

Note GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion into a slot.
