…gigabit port can support a wide range of physical media, from copper to long-wave single-mode optical fiber, at lengths of hundreds of kilometers. The Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver, also known as mini-GBIC, succeeds GBIC. Announced in 2001, it obsoleted GBIC. Flexibility is the benefit of hot-swappable transceivers…
