I have posted some GBIC's online at an auction site that are for sell. I am quite positive they are genuine but had one person inform me they are not. Was hoping you all could help me out? Outside of working with the gear I have never been big on pricing or identifying real/fake gear. Your thoughts on pricing them and if they are legit are much appreciated.

Cisco GLC-LH-SM GBIC.

Those are sfps, not gbics

SFP is mini GBIC, no? Just the factor type?

[mellowd]

Pretty much, but I would simply call them by their form factor name. When someone mentions gbic to me I think of the older fat type

Good point. Thanks mellowd!

I'd be very cautious about using those in production. My old boss bought some of those, I laughed when he told me how much he paid and where they came from... Anyway, I tested a couple in 6500's and they worked fine for a few months then one of them died... Not sure about the other one, I think I put it in the test lab...

How much did you pay for them? Retail with Healthcare discount they are approx £350 each from a Cisco distributor.

They are working and were tested recently. I did not pay for them they just kind of came a long. Trying to sell them though.

For approaching 60 yo old farts like me you'll have to improve your photography skills - I can't read the text and what background did you use? Carpet or something?

They look more real than they do counterfeit to me.

Here's what some looked like that someone at my work bought by accident.

Well...... comparing yours to mine, they look a little different, but that's just the label..... and mine were made in china.



EDIT: Added picture, ignore the plastic it came in.

Yeah they definitely are legit than! Thank you guys for helping me out.
