Amer GBS-GLX70 - GBIC transceiver module - GigE, Fibre Channel

The GBS-GLX70 is a high performance 1550 nm single-mode GBIC transceiver supporting full duplex, gigabit speeds on single-mode fiber for distances of up to 70 km 9 µ . This hot pluggable unit has a metal housing to reduce EMI and to increase durability. The industry standard GBS-GLX70 Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) operates on ordinary single-mode fiber optic link spans up to 70 km long. Link spans of up to 100 km are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion shifted single-mode fiber. The GBIC provides an optical link budget of 23 dB - the precise link span length will depend on multiple factors such as fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors. When shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used, it might be necessary to insert an in-line optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.
