February 3, 2003 EMC CLARiiON Open Systems Configuration Guide Cable Selection for CLARiiON Switch Models EMC sells only 50um multi-mode cabling, and does not recommend mixing 62.5 micron and 50 micron optical cable in the same link. In certain situations, you can add a 50 micron adapter cable to the end of an already installed 62.5 micron cable plant. Contact your customer service representative for details. EMC recommends a 3M or 5M multi-mode cable for intra-cabinet cabling servers to SPs in DPEs. To select cables: 1. Determine devices to be connected and associated connector types. 1. Using Table 3 below, determine the cable length. 1. Using Tables 4 and 5 below, select cables based on device connector type, connection quantity and distance required for each connection.
