The WS-X3500-XL is the Cisco Catalyst GigaStack GBIC, a gigabit interface converter for GigaStack GBIC ports. It uses the Cisco GigaStack connector and cable, and GigaStack technology relies on proprietary GBICs and cables.
Some Catalyst 3550, Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 3500 XL switches support the GigaStack GBIC. On these switches it needs a Cisco proprietary cable, either the CAB-GS-50CM (0.5-meter) or the CAB-GS-1M (1-meter).
Switch models with GBIC slots that take it include the WS-C2950G-12-EI, WS-C2950G-24-EI, WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC and WS-C2950G-48-EI with two GBIC slots, the WS-C3508G-XL with eight GBIC slots, and the WS-C3512-XL, WS-C3524-XL, WS-C3524-PWR-XL and WS-C3548-XL with two GBIC slots. The WS-C2950G-24-EI 24-port Catalyst 2950 switch is in the store. GBIC support depends on the platform and software release. More switch modules and options are in Cisco switches.
