Product Description
The 3Com 3C1680-5 transceiver module is a GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) designed to provide 10Mb/s Ethernet connectivity over fiber optic cable. It features an ST connector, a common type of fiber optic connector known for its bayonet-style coupling mechanism, ensuring a secure physical connection. This module is intended for use in network devices equipped with GBIC slots, allowing them to interface with fiber optic networks. Operating at 10Mb/s, this transceiver is suitable for legacy Ethernet applications or network segments where high bandwidth is not a requirement. It enables the extension of network reach beyond the limitations of copper cabling, offering immunity to electromagnetic interference and supporting longer transmission distances. The ST connector is typically used with either multimode or single-mode fiber, depending on the specific transceiver variant and the fiber deployed. GBIC modules were an important step in network device modularity, allowing for field upgrades or configuration changes. The 3Com 3C1680-5 specifically addresses the need for fiber optic connectivity in older networking equipment, providing a reliable means to connect devices using fiber infrastructure via the ST connector interface at 10Mb/s speeds.
