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)

  • 4 GFC: 0.5 m - 400 m

  • 8 GFC: 0.5 m - 190 m

  • 16 GFC: 0.5 m - 125 m

  • 32 GFC: 0.5 m - 100 m

0.5 meters

LC

OM3 - Multimode 50/125 micron fiber (2000 MHz*km bandwidth cable)

  • 4 GFC: 0.5 m - 380 m

  • 8 GFC: 0.5 m - 150 m

  • 16 GFC: 0.5 m - 100 m

  • 32 GFC: 0.5 m - 70 m

0.5 meters

LC

OM2 - Multimode 50/125 micron fiber (500 MHz*km bandwidth cable)

  • 4 GFC: 0.5 m - 150 m

  • 8 GFC: 0.5 m - 50 m

  • 16 GFC: 0.5 m - 35 m

  • 32 GFC: 0.5 m - 20 m

0.5 meters

LC

Note:

The HBA does not support OM1 cables.
  1. Connect the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the HBA.

    Graphic that shows how to attach the optical cable.
  2. Connect the other end of the cable to the FC device.

    After the optical cable is connected to the HBA, you can power on the system.
