Table 81 describes the distance rules for 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel connections when using 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel switch models. Table 81 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel distance rules (B-series, C-series, and M-series switches) Interface/transport Supported distances 50 micron multi-mode fiber nl optic cable and short-wave SFPs OM2 fiber 300 m at 2 Gb/s 500 m at 1 Gb/s OM3 fiber 500 m at 2 Gb/s 62.5 micron1 multi-mode fiber OM1 fiber optic cable and short-wave SFPs 150 m at 2 Gb/s Supported storage products Heterogeneous SAN servers, Fibre Channel switches, and storage systems HP Continuous Access EVA and XP Continuous Access EBS 9 micron single-mode fiber optic 10 km ISL at 2 Gb/s cable and long-wave SFPs 9 micron single-mode fiber optic 35 km ISL at 2 Gb/s (B-series and M-series) cable and extended-reach SFPs Total distance2 200 km (B-series, C-series) 105 km (M-series) Fibre Channel using WDM3 100 km at 2 Gb/s 240 km at 1 Gb/s 1Information for 62.5 micron fiber optic cable is provided to facilitate use of installed cable. HP recommends 50 micron fiber optic cable for new installations that require multi-mode fiber. 2Total distance is the sum of all cable segments. 3WDM distance is the maximum distance for the WDM link. 174 SAN fabric connectivity and switch interoperability rules
