All cables support a 2-byte-wide bus with differential drivers. If you require a cable
length that is not listed above, see your IBM field office.
Fibre-channel cables
For fibre-channel cable, order FC 3022 (IBM P/N 54G3384) which includes a
fibre-channel short wave adapter card and a 31 m (93 ft), 50 µM short-wave optics
cable. See your IBM field office if additional cables, longer cables, or 62.5 µM
cables are required.
ESCON host cables
Each ESCON host adapter provides two host connections. Order two ESCON
cables for each adapter for System/390 hosts. You can have your IBM field office
order the cable using the OMCABLE transaction in Advanced Administrative
Systems (AAS).
Each feature code 3011 gives you one host adapter card. Each adapter card
requires two ESCON attachment cables: either the standard riser-rated cable, cable
group number 3797, or the plenum-rated cable, cable group number 8486. The
following table gives the connector IDs to order for the cables.
