  • Page 87 Fiber Fiber Optics Fibre Channel Host Adapter Module (HAM) Interrupt Request (IRQ) Kilometer Laser Latency Light Light Emitting Diode (LED) Thin filament of glass. An optical waveguide consisting of a core and cladding, which is capable of carrying information in the form of light. Fibre is also a general term used to cover all physical media types supported by Fibre Channel, such as optical fiber, twisted pair, and coaxial cable.

GLMs that do not contain OFC control but still guarantee laser emission levels to be below Class 1. Open Fiber Control. A power monitoring/control system which continuously monitors the optical fiber link between two ports and prevents any laser emission from exceeding Class 1 levels in the event of a break anywhere in the path.
  • Page 90 6 Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit PCI-To-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter User Guide Single-Mode Fiber An optical waveguide (or fiber) with a small core diameter in which only a single mode is capable of propagation. This type of fiber is particularly suitable for wideband transmission over large distances, since its bandwidth is limited only by chromatic dispersion.
