3Com compatible GBIC transceivers, fiber optic cable

The 3Com compatible GBIC transceivers are industry-standard, hot-swappable devices that plug into a GBIC transceiver slot, linking it with fiber- and copper based networks. If you purchase the 1000BASE-T 3Com compatible GBIC transceivers, you must think about the copper cable, such as CAT-5 for networking. Only the copper cable supports the 1000BASE-T Ethernet technology.

The multi-mode fiber optic cable is must be needed when we have 1000BASE-SX GBIC transceivers or 1000BASE-LX GBIC transceiver connected. Of course, the 1000BASE-LX GBICs also can be used with single-mode fiber. For the single-mode fiber, it is also very suitable for 1000BASE-LH SFP transceiver and other products.

Additionally, the quality of the fiber also determines the transmission quality. Therefore, when we purchase the single-mode fiber or multi-mode fiber, we should make sure the material of them first.
