GBIC Care and Handling
Follow these GBIC maintenance guidelines:
G Unnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC can lead to its pre-
mature failure. A GBIC has a lifetime of 100 to 500 removals/
insertions.
G GBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow your
normal board and component handling procedures.
G GBICs are dust-sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or when a
fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep plugs in the GBIC
optical bores.
G Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the opti-
cal connector. The most common source of contaminants in the
optical bores is debris picked up from the optical connectors.
