Suited for telecom operators, Geebic WS-G5485U/D-AO GBIC enables bi-directional transmission on older switch models without SFP ports. It turns 1 Gb circuit into 2 Gb circuit using 4 bi-directional GBICs, by deploying existing fiber. Transceiver helps users employ same optical fiber for both transmission and reception functions, which allows network to free up bandwidth for other applications. Utilizing GBIC ports, unit accelerates implementation of FTTx.This story is related to the following:Optics and Photonics Sponsored by: Keyence Corporation of America - The Source for Digital Microscopy SolutionsCommunication Systems and EquipmentComputer Hardware and PeripheralsSearch for suppliers of: Optical Transceivers | Communication Converters | Fiber Optic Converters | Interface Converters
