I have used a copper GBIC (WS-G5483) with a 7500 and a GEIP+ before. But not with a GEIP (VIP2-50+PA-GE). It may work, though.
The 'official' answer is in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/OL_6981.html But, that document doesn't show the WS-G5483 being supported by the GEIP+ (which I know works, because I've used it). Likewise, Catalyst 5500 Gigabit EtherChannel module (WS-X5410) works with the 5483, but it's the only Catalyst 5000 series interface to do so (see below: pari-5505-colo-1> (enable) sh mod Mod Slot Ports Module-Type Model Sub Status --- ---- ----- ------------------------- ------------------- --- -------- 1 1 2 1000BaseX Supervisor IIIG WS-X5550 no ok 15 1 1 Route Switch Feature Card WS-F5541 no ok 2 2 2 1000BaseX Supervisor IIIG WS-X5550 no standby 16 2 1 Route Switch Feature Card WS-F5541 no ok 3 3 Gigabit Ethernet Ext WS-X5410 4 4 9 Gigabit Ethernet WS-X5410 no ok 5 5 24 10/100BaseTX Ethernet WS-X5225R no ok ...... ari-5505-colo-1> (enable) sh port Port Name Status Vlan Level Duplex Speed Type ----- ------------------ ---------- ---------- ------ ------ ----- ------------ 1/1 notconnect 1 normal full 1000 No Connector 1/2 connected trunk normal full 1000 1000-LX/LH [snip] 4/9 connected trunk normal full 1000 1000BaseT The X5410 ports will work with 1000base-T, but the SupIIIG's ports will not, nor will a X5403's (three-port gigabit ethernet). So, grab a surplus 5483 on ebay and try it. It may work.
