Description
The Finisar 118-029720 is a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) module that provides 1 Gigabit per second Ethernet connectivity over multi-mode fiber. GBIC was an earlier standard for modular transceivers, predating the more compact SFP modules, and is typically found in older networking equipment. This particular module operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is standard for short-wavelength, multi-mode fiber applications. The transceiver utilizes a SC duplex connector, a common and robust connector type for fiber optics, ensuring a secure physical link. Its design for multi-mode fiber makes it suitable for shorter network runs, such as within a building, on a campus, or between adjacent data center racks. The 850nm wavelength is optimized for the higher modal bandwidth of multi-mode fiber, allowing for efficient data transmission over these shorter distances. While GBICs are less common in new deployments compared to SFPs and QSFP modules, they remain essential for maintaining and upgrading existing infrastructure that relies on this form factor. The Finisar 118-029720 serves as a reliable replacement or expansion component for networks equipped with GBIC slots, ensuring continued connectivity for applications requiring Gigabit Ethernet speeds over multi-mode fiber.
