Fibre Channel port specifications

The Fibre Channel ports in the Brocade 6505 are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP+
transceivers (for 16 Gbps performance). The strength of the signal is determined by the type of
transceiver in use.
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these standards, see
"Regulatory compliance"
The ports are capable of operating at 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps depending on SFP+ transceiver models
and are able to autonegotiate to the maximum link speed.

Serial port specifications

The serial port is located on the port side of the switch. The Brocade 6505 uses an RJ45 connector
for the serial port. An RJ45-to-DB9 adapter is also provided with the switch.
NOTE
To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
