Page 10: Product Overview
CITYLIGHT FIBRE CHANNEL CARD 2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW The CityLIGHT Fibre Channel Card is part of the CityLIGHT system and is designed to provide a basic transport service for Fibre Channel attached devices. It converts multimode 850nm or single-mode 1300nm fiber signals for transmission on single-mode fiber between connected devices over distances up to 15km on single-mode fiber using short haul optics or 40km using long haul optics. -
Page 11: External Attenuator
CITYLIGHT FIBRE CHANNEL CARD Note the short haul optics are limited in distance by the spectral width of the laser and not the power budget available on the link. See Specifications Section for more details of drive distance. 2.3 External Attenuator All high-power or long haul CityLIGHT cards have been designed for long distance transmission and provide a minimum optical budget ranging between 20dB and 25dB. -
