GBIC Care and Handling

Follow these GBIC maintenance guidelines:

GUnnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC can lead to its pre- mature failure. A GBIC has a lifetime of 100 to 500 removals/ insertions.

GGBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

GGBICs are dust-sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep plugs in the GBIC optical bores.

GUse an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the opti- cal connector. The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up from the optical connectors.
