[AusNOG] Cisco GBIC - Mikrotik SFP Fibre Cable Information

[Joseph Goldman]

Hi Daniel,

  That appears to be just the line card - not the GBIC module that 
really defines the type of connector. (Although I dont have much 
experience with this platform)

  Need to know what type of GBIC they are using.

Thanks,
Joe
