...someone working at a place called Fiber Optic Supply would know what a GBIC is.

You would also think that someone somewhere in an area the exact size, shape, location and population density of the Denver metropolitan area would carry at least a GBIC or two.  I swear, I'd have an easier time finding plasma manifold couplings for a warp core containment field modulator.
