To Connect the Optical Cables


Note - The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel (FC) product (that is, multimode to multimode).

Use multimode fiber-optic cable, which is intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications in the following table.

Fiber-Optic Cable

Connector
62.5/125 mm (multimode)
150 meters at 2.125 Gbit/second
70 meters at 4.25 Gbit/second
21 meters at 8.5 Gbit/second
0.5 meters
