Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transport technology used for mass storage and
networking. Fibre Channel technology is outlined in the SCSI-3 Fibre Channel
Protocol (SCSI-FCP).
The Fibre Channel adapter uses a multimode shortwave optical interface for
distances up to 1640 feet (500 meters). It is a 2-gigabit (Gb) Fibre Channel device
that supports data transfer rates up to 200 megabytes per second (MBps) half
duplex and 400 MBps full duplex on optical interfaces.
