D-Link Single-mode Fiber Transceiver - 80 km 1000Mbit/s 1550nm network media converter

Single-mode Fiber Transceiver - 80 km D-Link Gigabit Interface Converters (GBIC) are transceivers that connect Gigabit switches and 10/100Mbps switches with GBIC slots to Gigabit Ethernet networks, providing high-speed connections over the fiber-optic or twisted-pair cable. The fiber-optic transceivers have standard duplex LC connectors for connection compatibility.

Small Form Pluggable (SFP) Package
These transceivers use the industry-standard Small Form Pluggable (SFP) package. They slide into the mini GBIC slot of the Gigabit device. They provide the necessary signal amplification for data to be transmitted to the network cable from the port, and vice versa, for the port to receive data from the network cable.

Hot Swappable
All D-Link Mini GBIC transceivers are hot-swappable. You can remove or replace the GBIC transceiver with the system powered on. This permits modules and mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without interrupting the network.

Applications
Applications of the fiber transceivers include distributed multi-processing, Gigabit switch cascading, high-speed I/O file transfer, bus extension application, and channel extender/data storage.
