Talk:GBIC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] This article reads like a promotional piece

GBIC may make sense if a load of different fiber interfaces are needed or for the fiber uplinks on a mainly copper switch. But this article implies that using it for copper links is a sane idea which i'm pretty sure is BS. Plugwash 01:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Does it? With what text? Copper gbics are not amazingly common, because so much had moved to SFP by the time 1000-TX was a baked standard. Pluggable optics make sense anywhere you have optics.. Pluggable copper doesn't make much sense when you're going for lots of copper ports, and I don't see how the article implies otherwise. --Gmaxwell 02:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
