Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 302 discussion

The transceivers labeled 8Gbps are likely to be used with the Fibre Channel protocol. Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology that is primarily used to connect storage devices to servers in storage area networks (SANs). It is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 8 Gbps (gigabits per second), and uses specialized transceivers to transmit and receive data over fiber optic cables. Coaxial over Ethernet (CoE) is a networking technology that uses coaxial cables to transmit data, and is not related to the transceivers in question. Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) is a protocol that allows devices to communicate over a network using the SCSI protocol, and does not typically use specialized transceivers. Gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a type of transceiver used to transmit and receive data over fiber optic cables, but it is not capable of transmitting data at 8 Gbps.

Definitely C: A fiber optic transceiver is a module that transmits and receives data over a fiber optic cable rather than an electrical wire.

I am going to go with C) D) doesn't seem to support 8Gbps. Gigabit Media Converter - Support 1G, 2.5G, 5G, 10G

Sigh...lots of wrong answers on this new dump.. Mike Meyers "A transceiver plugs into networking devices, enabling conversion from one media type to another. The Gigabit Ethernet folks created a standard for modular ports, a media converter called a gigabit interface converter (GBIC). With many Gigabit Ethernet switches and other hardware, you can simply pull out a GBIC transceiver that supports one flavor of Gigabit Ethernet and plug in another. You can replace an RJ45 port GBIC, for example, with an SC GBIC, and it’ll work just fine. In this kind of scenario, electronically, the switch or other gigabit device is just that—Gigabit Ethernet—so the physical connections don’t matter. Ingenious!"
