Classic Gigabit Ethernet (GBIC or SFP)
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series offers a variety of GBIC- or SFP-enabled gigabit solutions for high-
performance Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and server farm connectivity. The five GBIC- or SFP-enabled
gigabit line-card options for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series include 2-, 6-, 18-, and 48-port
versions. GBIC or SFP technology allows customers to intermix intrabuilding MMF connections
and long-distance single-mode connections simply by changing the GBIC or SFP type. (See Table
3 for more information.)
