Product Description
This Compaq GBIC transceiver, model 234458-001, is an older generation interface module designed for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) modules were predecessors to the more common SFP modules and require a dedicated GBIC slot on network equipment. This particular unit is specified for multi-mode fiber (MMF) and operates at a data rate of 1 Gb/s. The transceiver supports a maximum transmission distance of 500 meters over multi-mode fiber. It utilizes a SC duplex connector, which is a common fiber optic connector type known for its robustness and ease of use. The 850nm wavelength is standard for short-reach MMF applications, making this module suitable for use within buildings or across a campus environment. As a GBIC module, it provides a hot-swappable interface, allowing network administrators to add or replace modules without powering down the host device. This Compaq GBIC is essential for connecting network devices like switches and routers to the fiber optic backbone, ensuring reliable data transmission for local area networks. Its compatibility is limited to network equipment featuring GBIC slots.
