Gigabit Interface Converters

Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do 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.
