Fiberstore Supply Fully Hot Swappable Equipment Cisco GBIC transceiver

GBIC(gigabit interface converter), it is a media conversion device between Gigabit Ethernet and fiber optic networks, via the GBIC transceiver, Gigabit network equipment can directly connect to copper wires, single mode fiber ports or multimode fiber ports used to transform between electric signals and optical fiber signals.

GBIC has its multi sources agreement as the industrial standard, this help manufacturers save cost to develop their each own standard and solve the problem of compatibility, GBIC transceivers could also benefit the users, because the equipment support GBIC can fit to use different kinds of GBIC transceivers from different suppliers, what is more, GBIC is hot pluggable, this enable users to modify the connections as they need - just change the GBIC transceivers to be they need.

Cisco GBIC fiber transceiver is an international acknowledged standard as described by SFF Committee in document SFF-8053. Common Cisco GBIC fiber optic transceivers use dual SC optical fiber interface. It can fit to the GBIC slot on the switches or routers, Cisco GBIC transceiver is fully hot swappable equipment.

GBIC can be classified according to its range, wavelength, transfer rate, and optical power. There are types of GBIC transceivers available in the market nowadays to suit the specifications needed for the network of the system.Fiberstore have a range of Cisco GBIC modules, such as WS G5483, WS G5484, WS G5486, and WS G5487 are the types of 1000base gbic transceivers. The flexibility is the advantage of GBIC over others like the fixed physical interface configurations.Now,to understand the Cisco WS G5483 info.

The Cisco WS G5483 is Compatible 1000Base-T GBIC product. It is using a standard RJ-45 interface with Category 5 wiring that reaches the distance of 100 meters. WS G5484 runs on legacy MMF optic link with the distance of 550 meters. The WS G5486 can run up to 10 kilometers over SMF while 550 meters for MMF. And, WS G5487 works on SMF optic link that reaches 70 kilometers but if the premium SMF is used the range will reach up to 100 kilometers. The range of link depends on factors like the quality of fiber, connectors, and number of splices.

Remarks of GBIC modules:
When install the GBIC modules, please note at the alignment groove at the side of the transceiver, and make sure it fit for the Ethernet interface slot and try the insertion, sometimes you may need to turn it 180 degree to fit for the interface.
Although GBIC fiber optic transceiver modules are plug and play, we strongly suggest you disconnect all the fiber optic patch cords connected to it before you install or remove it.
