Gigabit Interface Converters
A Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is a hot-swappable input/output device that
plugs into a supervisor engine or Gigabit Ethernet module which links the module
with the fiber-optic network or with the copper network.

1. Specific combinations of supervisor engines and modules may not be supported in your chassis. Refer to the release notes
of the software version running on your system for specific information on modules and supervisor engine combinations that
are not supported.
2. If you have backplane bandwidth greater than 32 Gbps, you must install a Switch Fabric Module or install a Supervisor
Engine 720 in the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis.
