GBIC Cabling and Connection Equipment
The GBIC receptacle is a 1000-Mbps optical interface in the form of an SC-type duplex receptacle that 
supports IEEE 802.3z interfaces compliant with the 1000BASEX standard. 
Table 3-8 provides cabling specifications for the GBICs that you install in Gigabit Ethernet slots. Note 
that all GBIC ports have SC-type connectors. Also, the minimum cable distance for the WS-G5484= 
or GBIC-SX and WS-G5486= or GBIC-LX/LH (multimode fiber [MMF] and single-mode fiber [SMF])
