Topology and Array Planning Supported cable lengths for each segment of the Fibre Channel-AL include 2 m, 16 m, 50 m, 100 m, and 500 m. The maximum combined cable lengths for all segments, that is, the total length of the Fibre Channel-AL should not exceed 5000 m because performance can degrade due to propagation delay. Because of this it is recommended that the total cable length of the Fibre Channel-AL be as short as possible. Fibre optic cables in lengths of 2 m, 16 m, 50 m, and 100 m cables can be ordered from Hewlett-Packard (see the Reference chapter for part numbers). Fibre optic cables longer than 100 m must be custom-fabricated for each implementation. In this configuration a maximum of nine controller modules can be attached to an HP Fibre Channel-AL Hub. The HP Fibre Channel-AL Hub's tenth port is used to connect to the other HP Fibre Channel-AL Hub in the cascaded pair, rather than to a host adapter as in the high availability topology.
