Cluster Interconnect

The following components make up the campus cluster interconnect hardware configuration:

• SunFastEthernet Adapter. The SunFastEthernet Adapter provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet functionality with an RJ-45 connector.

• Media converters. Use RJ-45 media converters to convert from copper to optical fiber connectors.

• Two 9/125-micrometer single-mode fiber pairs.

Figure A-3 shows the setup for the cluster interconnect:

The interconnect should be capable of transmissions equal to the storage fiber connection distance. For connections up to 2km, multimode fibers can be used. If so, different transceivers might be required in place of media converters. Consult your sales representative.
