For 3Com Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) Transceivers
Description
The Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ports on your system connect to
Gigabit Ethernet networks through a GBIC transceiver (Figure 1),
providing a high-speed connection over fiber-optic cable. The transceiver
connects to the network using a fiber-optic duplex subscriber connector
(SC). You can remove and replace the transceiver with the system on
(which is called hot-swapping).
