GBIC speed	Cable Type			Distance
1.062.5 Mb/sec	62.5 ∝		multimode	300 m
1.062.5 Mb/sec	50 ∝	multimode		500 m
2.125 Mb/sec	62.5 ∝		multimode	300 m
2.125 Mb/sec	50 ∝	multimode		500 m

The Giga-Bit Interface Converter (GBIC) can interoperate with both 2 Gb/sec and 1 Gb/sec data links. The GBIC is hot-swappable and is the only component, except for the SNC 5100 unit itself that is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). See “Removing and Replacing the GBIC” on page 82.
