A GBIC module is a fast and easy way for you to add an 1000 Mbps fiber
optic port to your switch. You can use a GBIC module to extend the
distance of your network, build a high-speed backbone network
between switches, or connect additional nodes to the network, such as
high-speed servers.
The speed on a GBIC module is fixed at 1,000 Mbps. It cannot be
changed.
Figure 11 shows an example of a fiber optic GBIC module.
