Handling a GBIC
Following are the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) handling guidelines:
• GBICs are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow appropriate board
and component handling procedures.
• GBICs are dust sensitive. When storing a GBIC or when a fiber-optic cable is
not plugged in, always keep plugs in the GBIC optical bores.
• The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris
picked up on the ferrules of the optical connectors. Use an alcohol swab or
Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.
