GBIC, HSSDC, Passive

This GBIC is more appropriate for connection with a PCI card, rather than T-Cards, and is typically installed in a GBIC-based hub or switch. The description "passive" indicates it is a lower-cost GBIC that is intended to connect PCI cards to a GBIC-based hub. Note that this GBIC is special-purpose, and is not really appropriate for use with LSI Logic or Qlogic PCI cards, due to the need for an HSSDC-HSSDC cable. This GBIC is well matched with an Emulex copper PCI card and an HSSDC-DB9 cable, however.
