They are both just media converters.
The difference is mostly physical.
The SFP comes in LC and the GBIC is SC
And both come in copper RJ45 as well.

Subject: OT: SFP vs GBIC
Hi guys,
This is an Off Topic question:
I'm going thru material on the 6500 and see references to
SFP - Small Form Factor Plugables
and
Gbic's
What's the difference between these 2 items?
I think of a Gbic as basically a media converter that plugs into a 6500
gigabit module/blade.
Is a SFP just another type of Gbic?
Thanks, Tim
