Most GBIC modules are Optoelectronic Transceivers or optical transceivers, multimode (850nm) or single-mode (1310nm).

GAO FiberOptics supplies these modules in addition to optical transceivers at other wavelengths for use in CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing) applications, and a wide variety of copper GBICs for various protocols.

AO FiberOptics provides a wide range of GBIC-based systems with powerful features for physical network connectivity, including media converters, distance extenders, cross-connects, Ethernet switching and routing equipment, and wave division multiplexing solutions.

The power of the GBIC is in the density, flexibility, management and cost savings.

Pluggable interfaces comprise a series of technological enhancements to traditional optical or copper interfaces.

First and foremost, they are very small hot-swappable modules that can easily be removed from the host device.
