SFP and GBIC are tranceivers. Its definitely technically possible to intermix. The difficulty is the cable in-between. The question that remains is: Does someone make a solid cable of this type, or would you need the respective tranceivers to have open/interchangeable/female cabling ends so that you could supply your own intermediary media?
All GBIC cables I have seen have been solid. I haven't seen a cable-less transceiver in about 10 years - because 10 years ago the tech was as large as a modern cell phone, and would cause massive connector stress on your equipment. -- ME2 On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 12:23 PM, Jacob <[email protected]> wrote: > Been a while since I purchased Cisco equipment (almost 10 years!).
