Warren,

Do SFP+ modules count?

I have a pair of the multimode versions of this sitting on my desk as I type 
this.

Thanks,

Subject: [External] Random shower thought: GBIC with LC connector...

Hi there all,

While looking through my big box of random optics I suddenly realized that I'd 
never seen a GBIC with an LC connector, and I started wondering if anyone else 
had / if such a thing actually exists.

Yes, I realize that this would be a fairly niche device - if you arrived 
somewhere with a device that took GBICs and there was existing fiber with LC 
connectors you could just replace the patch cable or use an LC-SC convertor, 
but that doesn't really satisfy my curiosity.

A quick look through the GBIC MSA / SFF documentation implies that such a thing 
*could* probably exist (there is a defined value for the 'LC' connector), but I 
wasn't able to actually find any. It might not actually be compliant with the 
specs (the document I found only lists SC fiber or copper (coax with BNC, TNC 
or DB-9?!)), but that doesn't mean that no-one made them.

So, has anyone seen a regular (30mm/1.2") GBIC with LC connectors? And, if so, 
"pics or it didn't happen"... :-)

Obviously I don't have an actual use for this, it's just to satisfy my (OCD) 
curiosity...
