Product Description
The Extreme Networks 4050-00011-02-TRF57 is a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) transceiver module, a standard for early Gigabit Ethernet implementations. This specific module is engineered to support data transmission at a rate of 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) and is designed for operation over single-mode fiber optic cables, enabling network connections to span distances of up to 10 kilometers. GBICs are hot-pluggable modules that interface with network devices like switches and routers, converting electrical signals from the host device into optical signals for transmission over fiber, and vice versa. The 10km transmission capability makes this transceiver ideal for connecting network equipment across large campuses, between buildings, or in metropolitan area networks (MANs) where longer reach is required than what multimode fiber can typically provide. The use of single-mode fiber allows for higher bandwidth and longer distances due to its smaller core diameter, which reduces signal dispersion. This transceiver is a critical component for extending network infrastructure and ensuring high-speed connectivity over significant distances. It plays a vital role in backbone networks, data center interconnects, and other applications where reliable, high-performance, long-reach optical communication is essential. The GBIC form factor, while largely superseded by SFP and SFP+ modules, was foundational in enabling the widespread adoption of Gigabit Ethernet.
