What is a GBIC connector?
What is a GBIC connector?
A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a transceiver that converts electric currents (digital highs and lows) to optical signals, and optical signals to digital electric currents. The GBIC is typically employed in fiber optic and Ethernet systems as an interface for high-speed networking.
What is the difference between GBIC and SFP?
They are used to convert optical and electrical signals. GBIC stands for Gigabit Interface Converter and SFP stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable. SFP’s being more compact is beneficial because the larger size of a GBIC module means that you can fit less in to a line card or switch.
What is dual LC connector?
Primarily, LC duplex connectors are so small that it has a 1.25mm pin type ferrule. Due to this small ferrule, its body is also designed in a small low cost plastic composition. The body is made of like a miniature RJ45, which means it features a latched mechanism that makes it the most user-friendly connector.
What is the meaning GBIC?
gigabit interface converter
A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a standard for transceivers, first defined in 1995 and commonly used with Gigabit Ethernet and fibre channel for some time.
What is a mini GBIC port?
SFP port (small form-factor hot-pluggable interface)，also called mini-GBIC port, is designed for Gigabit data transmission. The SFP ports can support both copper and optical links. And fiber SFP module and LC patch cable are needed for fiber optic transmission over longer distance.
What is mini GBIC port?
What is LX and SX fiber?
SX stands for short wavelength. The standard specifies a distance capability between 220 meters and 550 meters. 1000BASE-LX can run over both single mode fiber and multimode fiber with a distance of up to 10 km and 550 m, respectively.
What is LC fiber optic cable?
LC is a small form factor connector that uses a 1.25 mm ferrule, half the size of the SC. Otherwise, it’s a standard ceramic ferrule connector, easily terminated with any adhesive. Good performance, highly favored for singlemode.
