Using LC-LC Fibre Channel cables

The LC-LC Fibre Channel cable is a fiber-optic cable that you use to connect
DS5020 Fibre Channel ports into one of the following devices:
v An SFP module installed in a Fibre Channel switch port
v An SFP module of the host bus adapter port
v An SFP module installed in an IBM DS5000 or DS4000 storage expansion
See Figure 30 on page 54 for an illustration of the LC-LC Fibre Channel cable.
For more information about cabling these devices, see the documentation that
comes with the LC-LC Fibre Channel cable.
