GBIC stands for Gigabit Interface Converter. It is a hot swappable interface. Hot swappable means, even without power off of the equipment this item can be removed and replaced.
It WAS commonly used in gigabit ethernet . Now the use of this item is reduced because of the arrival of mini gbic. MINI GBIC is commonly called as SFP traceiver.

Transmitter Center Wavelength 850nm, 1310nm, 1550nm or CWDM DFB
5) Receiver PIN or APD
Applications
1) Fiber Channel
2) Ethernet

MINI GBIC(also called as SFP): It is an SFP fibre optic tranceiver. SFP means Small Form Factor Pluggable. it can support upto 10gbps speed.This form factor ss a popular industry format jointly developed and supported by many network component vendors.
SFPs are used in routers,switches,dslam tier-1 and tier-2 switches,networkgateways,etc.

| this is SFP that is mini GBIC. It is hot swappable. |

| This is cisco SFP Transceiver Module [Fiber-Optic LC Connector] |
By seeing the color of the handle, you can identify the speed and wavelength range of these trancivers..
The following table shows different types of SFPs of Cisco Make.
| Part Number | Description | Color Code |
|---|---|---|
| CWDM-SFP-1470 | Cisco CWDM 1470-nm SFP; Gigabit Ethernet and 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel | Gray |
| CWDM-SFP-1490 | Cisco CWDM 1490-nm SFP; Gigabit Ethernet and 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel | Violet |
| CWDM-SFP-1510 | Cisco CWDM 1510-nm SFP; Gigabit Ethernet and 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel | Blue |
| CWDM-SFP-1530 | Cisco CWDM 1530-nm SFP; Gigabit Ethernet and 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel | Green |
| CWDM-SFP-1550 | Cisco CWDM 1550-nm SFP; Gigabit Ethernet and 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel | Yellow |
| CWDM-SFP-1570 | Cisco CWDM 1570-nm SFP; Gigabit Ethernet and 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel | Orange |
| CWDM-SFP-1590 | Cisco CWDM 1590-nm SFP; Gigabit Ethernet and 1 and 2 Gb Fibre Channel | Red |
