Page 10: Gbic Modules
Setup and Installation GBIC Modules The switch accommodates up to sixteen GBIC modules. All interfaces have status lights visible from the front panel giving a quick, visual check of the switch port’s status and activity. GBIC modules supported are the short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL) fiber-optics, and Copper (Cu) versions. -
Page 11: Fiber Channel Cable Connections
Setup and Installation Passive Copper GBIC Module The Copper (Cu) GBIC module is based on the High-Speed Serial Data Connection (HSSDC) interface standards. The GBIC provides a female HSSDC connector. Copper cables up to 13 meters have currently been qualified, thereby supporting ANSI X3.230 FC-PH intra-cabinet requirements. - Page 12 Setup and Installation Note: The switch is not designed to interoperate with devices using an Open Fibre Control optical interface. Fiber cable connections are made to GBICs located on the front panel of the switch using standard dual SC plug connectors as shown in Figure 2-5. Figure 2-5 Dual SC fiber optic plug connector The connectors are keyed and must be inserted into the GBIC module connector in proper...
