Catalyst 5000 Switch - GBic Module 1000base Zx Spare

Introduction

The GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port, linking the port with the fiber-optic network The WS-G5487 must be coupled to single mode fiber optic cable, which is the type of cable typically used in long haul telecommunications applications. TheWS-G5487 will not operate correctly when coupled to multi-mode fiber, and it is not intended to be used in application environments (e.g. building backbones, horizontal cabling) where multi-mode fiber is frequently used.

The WS-G5487 is intended to be used as a Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) component for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, as found on various switch and router products. It will operate at a signaling rate of 1250 MBaud, transmitting and receiving 8B/10B encoded data.
