Figure 2-26 Securing an Uplink Port Cable (fiber Mini-GBIC industrial bracket shown)
Note: The bracket for use with fiber industrial grade Mini-GBICs (I-MGBIC-GSX, I-MGBIC-GZX and
I-MGBIC-GLX) is installed on the uplink ports at the time of shipment. The bracket for use with
copper industrial grade Mini-GBICs (I-MGBIC-GTX) is not installed at the time of shipment and is
packaged separately.
Note: You must install the appropriate retention bracket if the I-Series switch will be installed in a
Class 1, Division 2 hazardous environment. Brackets are designed for use with industrial grade
Mini-GBICs (I-MGBIC-xxx) only.
The bracket is not required for use in non-hazardous environments and will not fit over standard
Mini-GBICs.
