1-14 Extreme Networks Consolidated Hardware Guide
Summary of Common Switch Features
• Use the same type of GBIC at each end of the link.
• Connect one end of the link to the Tx port. Without an attenuator, measure the total
loss from the Tx port to the other site of the link. For example, the total loss must
not exceed the total budget listed in Table 1-10 for a ZX GBIC or Table 1-11 for an
LX70 GBIC.
• Use dispersion shifted fiber whenever possible. This provides superior performance
in the 1550 nm range.
Once you complete all of these described tasks, you are ready to install or replace a
GBIC.
You can add and remove GBICs from your Extreme Networks switch without powering
off the system. Figure 1-4 shows the two types of GBIC connectors.

GBICs are a Class 1 laser device. Use only Extreme-approved devices.
Note: Remove the SC fiber-optic connector from the GBIC prior to removing the
GBIC from the I/O module or the switch.
Caution: GBICs can emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to
beam.
