The GBIC (Gigabit Interface Connector) is what connects the fibre to the switch. http://www.extremenetworks.com/libraries/services/GBICInstallNote.pdf
My HP switches use SFP mini-GBIC connectors. Sean Rector, MCSE From: Jacob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 3:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: SFP to GBIC cabling? Been a while since I purchased Cisco equipment (almost 10 years!). My question is on the SFP modules. If I have a GBIC on one switch, I cannot have a SFP module on the other end? If I read this right, two different ends on the cable(beige and grey)? I have a Cisco rep.. if he is still around.
