[nsp] Source for 1000Base-TX GBICs

[Temkin, David]

FYI the 1000-Base-T gbics are a lot more sensitive than the fiber ones...
They don't work, at least in the 6500 line, without using certain versions
of code, which leads me to believe that third party GBICs may be tricky.

Exactly...agilent mass produces...and Cisco marks them up 75% (the cost of
the small "cisco" lable they slap on them.) :-o

I've used many different GBICs in Cisco gear.  They all work, provided you
match up the specs, and as with memory, you can certainly beat Cisco's
pricing by a wide margin.  Hey, Cisco isn't making them, only slapping their
part number on a specification, and buying theirs from  multiple vendors.


Just my $.02 from experience.

We bought a bunch of IBM GBIC's and none of them worked in Catalyst 3500's
or 6500's.  The Cisco GBIC's worked fine and the IBM's worked in NIC cards,
but not in the Cisco switches.
