Technical Specifications Fibre Channel Port Specifications The fibre channel ports in the SAN Director 2/128 support full duplex link speeds at 2.125 or 1.0625 Gb/s inbound and outbound, automatically negotiating to the highest common speed of all devices connected to the port. Each port has a SerDes (serializer/deserializer) that accepts 10-bit wide parallel data and serializes it into a high-speed serial stream. The parallel data is expected to be "8B/10B" encoded data or equivalent. The ports are compatible with optical SWL (short wavelength: 780-850 nm) and optical LWL (long wavelength: 1270-1350 nm) SFPs (small form-factor pluggable media) and SFP-compatible cables. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of SFP in use. The ports are universal and self-configuring, capable of becoming F_Ports (fabric ports), FL_Ports (fabric loop enabled), or E_Ports (expansion ports). 172 SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
