Port Card Specifications
Port card specifications only include specifications for the Fibre Channel ports.
Fibre Channel Port Specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the Core Switch 2/64 support full duplex link speeds at
2.125 or 1.0625 Gbps inbound and outbound, automatically negotiating to the
highest common speed of all devices connected to the port. Each port has a
SerDes (serializer/deserializer) which 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 wave-length: 780-850 nm) and
optical LWL (long wave-length: 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.
