Chapter 5 NPE-G1 Overview
Connection Equipment and Specifications
Table 5-6 lists the available CWDM GBIC options.
Table 5-7 provides 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.
