Fibre Channel Cables
This section describes the cables supported by the Adaptec FC
Storage Enclosure.
Copper Cables
FCAL copper cables up to 10 meters long can be used between the
host and the enclosure. FCAL copper cables up to 5 meters can be
used between enclosures for loop expansion. The 10 meter copper
cable length is supported with any number of disk drives installed
at an enclosure speed of 1 Gb/sec.
Copper cabling between shelf enclosures requires SFP-to-SFP
copper cables having the lengths specified in
Table 6-1 on page 6-4
.
An optical interface I/O SFP module can be used to achieve FC
optical cable lengths.
For 2 Gb/sec speeds, FCAL copper cables up to 5 meters in length
can be used between the host and the enclosure, and between
enclosures. These cable lengths are supported with any number of
disk drives installed. An optical interface I/O SFP module can be
used to achieve FC optical cable lengths. The supported cables are
shown in
Table 6-2 on page 6-4
.
