My feeling is that the WS-G5482 1000baseT GBIC will ONLY work in a Catalyst
2900XL or 3500XL switch. There isn't an equivalent 1000baseT GBIC for either
the 7500 or 12000 product line.

The Cisco 12000 and Catalyst 6500 GBICs appear to be identical. I have
swapped the GSR and Catalyst GBICs in the past without any issues.

I'm not certain about the 7500 GBICs.

7500 GBICs
===============
GBIC-SX= Gigabit Intf. Converter For 1000BASE-SX (Short Wavelength)
GBIC-LX/LH Gigabit Interface Converter for 1000BASE-LX standard
GBIC-LX/LH= Gigabit Interface Converter for 1000BASE-LX standard
GBIC-ZX Gigabit Interface Converter for 1000 BASE-ZX
GBIC-ZX= Gigabit Interface Converter for 1000 BASE-ZX

Cisco 12000 GBICS
================
GBIC-SX-MM 1000base-SX GBIC module, multimode,standardized for GSR12000
GBIC-SX-MM= 1000base-SX GBIC module, multimode fiber, SC connector
GBIC-LH-SM 1000base-LH GBIC module,singlemode,standardized for GSR12000
GBIC-LH-SM= 1000base-LH GBIC module, singlemode fiber, SC connector
GBIC-ZX-SM GBIC very long reach GBIC module for the GE line card
GBIC-ZX-SM= GBIC very long reach GBIC module for the GE line card

Cisco Catalyst 6500 GBICS:
WS-G5484 1000BASE-SX Short Wavelength GBIC (Multimode only)
WS-G5484= 1000BASE-SX
WS-G5486 1000BASE-LX/LH long haul GBIC (singlemode or multimode)
WS-G5486= 1000BASE-LX/LH
WS-G5487 1000Base-ZX extended reach GBIC(singlemode)
WS-G5487= 1000Base-ZX extended reach GBIC(singlemode)

Does anyone know if you can use the WS-G5482 1000baseT GBIC in anything
other than a switch? The documentation says switch only, but it'd be far
more useful if I could also use it in a PA-GE or a GSR GigE linecard.
