The 8-port Passport 8608GBIC Routing
Switch module uses plug-in Gigabit
Interface Converters (GBICs) with SC
connectors for customers wishing to
“mix and match” interface types on a
single module. It is optimized for LAN
backbones and enables long-distance
switch inter-connection over MultiMode
or SingleMode fiber. The GBICs are
available in shortwave (SX), longwave (LX)
and extended distance (XD and ZX).

The Passport 8608SX and the Passport
8608GBIC modules deliver up to 16
Gbps of bandwidth in a single trunk
using distributed Multi-Link Trunking
and support Express Classification (XC)
for wire-speed Layer 2, Layer 3 and
Layer 4 policy services.

The 8-port Passport 8608GT Routing
Switch module with RJ-45 connectors
provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
over Category 5 copper cabling. The
Passport 8608GT is a low-cost solution
that is ideal for servers or power users
supporting distances of up to 100 meters.

The 16-port Passport 8616SXE Routing
Switch module with MT-RJ connectors
provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
over fiber media. The Passport 8616SXE
is optimized for server farms and power
workstations that require increased
bandwidth per port. With a maximum of
128 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Passport
8616SXE provides the density necessary
for implementing today’s application-
driven networks.

Each Passport 8600 Gigabit Ethernet
module has LEDs to indicate port status
and activity, and additional LEDs to
indicate power and diagnostic status.
Table 1 shows the connectivity types
and maximum port density that can be
supported in the 6-slot and 10-slot chassis.
