This appendix lists the specifications and regulatory requirements for the Gigabit Interface Cards
(GBICs) and the media that they use. Enterasys Networks reserves the right to change these
specifications at any time without notice. The available GBIC models are the GPIM-01, GPIM-08,
and GPIM-09. All three devices use SC connectors. The GPIM-01 supports multimode fiber
(MMF) cable, the GPIM-08 supports single mode fiber (SMF) cable, and the GPIM-09 supports
both multimode and single mode fiber cable, as specified in the following tables.
