not stare into open apertures.
A GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet
module, linking the module with the fiber-optic network. GBICs are available in
two physical models and three optical models. The two physical models are shown
in Figure B-5. The three optical models are listed in Table B-1 .
