Cable Requirements; Known Issues; Hsg80 Transparent Mode Not Supported With Ibm Aix - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Release Note

Cable Requirements

IMPORTANT: Please note that optical cables for the edge switch must be ordered separately.
For cables measuring up to 500 meters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gbps), use
multi-mode Fibre Channel cables. For longer cables, use single-mode Fibre Channel
cables.
Multi-mode optical cables are connected to short-wave optical transceiver modules in
a switch. Single-mode optical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver
modules in a switch. Multi-mode cables should use 50/125 optical fibers, and
single-mode cables typically use 9/125 optical fibers for distances up to 10 km.
Verify that connectors interfacing with the edge switch use LC Duplex connectors
with a PC finish. In addition, the connector at the opposite end of the cable must use
either LC or SC type, depending on the requirements of the connected device.
