To Connect the Optical Cable
Note:
The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel product (that is, multimode to multimode).Use multimode fiber-optic cable, intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications in the following table.
| Fiber-Optic Cable | Maximum Length | Minimum Length | Connector |
|---|---|---|---|
|
OM4 - Multimode 50/125 micron fiber (4700 MHz*km bandwidth cable) |
|
0.5 meters |
LC |
|
OM3 - Multimode 50/125 micron fiber (2000 MHz*km bandwidth cable) |
|
0.5 meters |
LC |
|
OM2 - Multimode 50/125 micron fiber (500 MHz*km bandwidth cable) |
|
0.5 meters |
LC |
- Connect the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the HBA.
