GBIC Technology
The GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) MSA is a specification for a pluggable, hot-swappable Gigabit interface for Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and other applications. The MSA Document provides a common specification for systems manufacturers, system integrators, and suppliers of pluggable Gigabit Interface Converters. It is an internal working document of the SFF Committee, an industry ad hoc group.
Most GBIC modules are optical transceivers, multimode (850nm) or single-mode (1310nm). MRV supplies these modules in addition to optical transceivers at other wavelengths for use in CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing) applications, and a wide variety of copper GBICs for various protocols. MRV provides a wide range of GBIC-based systems with powerful features for physical network connectivity, including media converters, distance extenders, cross-connects, Ethernet switching and routing equipment, and wave division multiplexing solutions. The power of the GBIC is in the density, fl exibility, management and cost savings.
