Long wavelength/long haul (1000Base-LX/LH) GBIC, 1 x 1000Base-LX LAN, GBIC
This exclusive Industry-leading "Tier 1" technology Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is 100% Cisco compliant and is approved for Federal, State, Local government and Fortune 500 corporate network applications. The WS-G5486 GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network. Advantage Optics' GBICs can be interchanged on a wide variety of Cisco products and can be intermixed in combinations of 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, 1000BASE-CWDM interfaces on a port-by-port basis. The WS-G5486, 1000BaseLX/LH interfaces fully comply with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BaseLX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 10 km over single-mode fiber (SMF) versus the 5 km specified in the standard. GBIC technology leverages the industry's flexible, standards-based 1000BASE-X design, allowing for a simple and lower-cost migration path to Gigabit Ethernet verse OEM branded modules.
