Table 5-7provides cabling specifications for the GBICs that you install in Gigabit Ethernet devices. Note that all GBIC ports have SC-type connectors. Also, the minimum cable distance for the WS-G5484 or GBIC-SX and WS-G5486 or GBIC-LX/LH (multimode fiber [MMF] and single-mode fiber [SMF]) is 6.5 feet (2 m), and the minimum link distance for the WS-G5487 or GBIC-ZX is 6.2 miles (10 km) with an 8-dB attenuator installed at each end of the link. Without attenuators, the minimum link distance for the WS-G5487 or GBIC-ZX is 24.9 miles (40 km).

Note Optical fiber cables are commercially available; they are not available from Cisco.
