Mini Gigabit Interface Converters (MiniGBICs)

Mini Gigabit Interface Converters (MiniGBICs) are fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet transceivers for use with OS6600-GNI-U2 uplink modules on OmniSwitch 6624, 6600-U24, and 6648 switches. MiniGBICs are interchangeable and hot-swappable, thus providing users an easy, flexible solution for adapting OS6600 series switches to different physical interfaces types.

Alcatel offers three MiniGBIC options:

•MiniGBIC-SX: 1000BASE-SX short-haul

•MiniGBIC-LX: 1000BASE-LX long-haul

•MiniGBIC-LH-70: 1000BASE-LH extra long-haul

All MiniGBIC types support bi-directional wire-speed switching. For additional technical specifications on all three MiniGBIC types, refer to page 2-34. For information on installing MiniGBICs, refer to page 2-35.
