Glossary
Narrow SCSI
A SCSI
implementation that utilizes a 50-
pin cable; can be single-ended or
differential.
Non-OFC
An acronym for Non
Open-Ended Fibre Control. This
approach does not drop the laser
power when a cable link is
dropped. Non-OFC uses a lower
power laser than an OFC system.
O
OFC
An acronym for Open-Ended
Fibre Control. When a cable link is
dropped, the laser drops, to
eliminate the potential for eye
damage.
Originator
A Fibre Channel term
that refers to the initiating device.
P
Port
The hardware entity within a
node that performs data
communications over the Fibre
Channel link.
PPP
An acronym for Point-to-
Point Protocol. A transmission
path over which data is
transmitted between two Fibre
Channel devices.
Protocol
A data transmission
convention encompassing timing,
control formatting, and data
representation.
R
RAID
Redundant Array of
Inexpensive Disks.
Receiver
A terminal device that
includes a detector and signal
processing.
S
SCSI
Small Computer Systems
Interface.
Single-ended SCSI
A SCSI
implementation that allows a
maximum length of six meters.
SW Optical GBIC
Short Wave
Optical Gigabit Interface
Converter.
SW Optical FC Cable
Short
Wave Optical Fibre Channel
Cable.
Synchronous
Simultaneous
transmission of multiple
transmissions down the SCSI
path.
