1000BASE-T
GBIC
Connects a GBIC port
to Category 5 wiring
via a standard RJ-45
interface.
The maximum
Category 5 wiring
distance is 328 feet
(100 meters).
Cisco IOS
Release
12.2(28)SB
GBIC-SX= or
WS-G5484=
Short
wavelength
(1000BASESX)
Contains a Class 1
laser of 850 nm for
1000BASESX (short
wavelength)
applications.
Operates on standard
multimode fiber-optic
link spans of up to
1804 feet
(550 m).
This GBIC will
operate on all
Cisco IOS
releases
running a Cisco
7304 using an
NSE-100.
GBIC-LX/LH=
or WS-G5486=
Long
wavelength/
long haul
(1000BASELX/
LH)
Contains a Class 1
laser of 1300 nm for
1000BASELX/LH
(long wavelength)
applications.
Operates on
single-mode
fiber-optic link spans
of up to 6.2 miles
(10 km) or multimode
spans up to 1804 feet
(550 m) with
mode-conditioning
patch cord.
This GBIC will
operate on all
Cisco IOS
releases
running a Cisco
7304 using an
NSE-100.
GBIC-ZX =or
WS-G5487=
Extended
distance
wavelength
(1000BASEZX)
Contains a Class 1
laser of 1550 nm for
1000BASEZX
(extended wavelength)
applications.
Operates on ordinary
single-mode
fiber-optic link spans
of up to 43.5 miles
(70 km). Link spans
of up to 62.1 miles
(100 km) are possible
using premium
single-mode fiber or
dispersion-shifted
single-mode fiber
(premium
single-mode fiber has
a lower attenuation
per unit length than
ordinary single-mode
fiber;
dispersion-shifted
single-mode fiber has
both lower
attenuation and less
dispersion).
This GBIC will
operate on all
Cisco IOS
releases
running a Cisco
7304 using an
NSE-100.
