25
MTRJ
Comparable size for RJ-45, connects two multimode cables . Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack
26
GBIC
Gigabit Interface Converter, converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa. High speed, variable wavelength. Shortwave 0.5m to 500m, longwave 2m to 10m
27
SFP
Small Form Factor Pluggable. Converts electrical signal to optical signal and vice versa. Common in 2Gbps and 4Gbps Fibre Channel. Smaller than GBIC
28
