Gigabit Interface Converters (GBIC) for Gigabit Ethernet
Data Sheet
Description
The AFBR-56xxZ/AFCT-56xxZ family of interface convert-
ers meet the Gigabit Interface Converter specification
Rev. 5.4, an industry standard. The family provides a
uniform form factor for a wide variety of standard con-
nections to transmission media. The converters can be
inserted or removed from a host chassis without remov-
ing power from the host system.
The converters are suitable for interconnections in the
Gigabit Ethernet hubs and switches environment. The
design of these converters is also practical for other high
performance, point-to-point communication requiring
gigabit interconnections. Since the converters are hot-
pluggable, they allow system configuration changes
simply by plugging in a different type of converter.
The mechanical and electrical interfaces of these convert-
ers to the host system are identical for all implementa-
tions of the converter regardless of external media type.
A 20-pin connector is used to connect the converter to
the host system. Surge currents are eliminated by using
pin sequencing at this connector and a slow start circuit.
Two ground tabs at this connector also make contact
before any other pins, discharging possible component-
damaging static electricity. In addition, the connector it-
self performs a two-stage contact sequence. Operational
signals and power supply ground make contact in stage
1 while power makes contact in stage 2.
