G1 The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a mini-GBIC
expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each
MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at
speeds of up to 1000Mbps.
Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 mini-GBIC modules with the Switch. The
MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC connectors, while the MGBT1
requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.
