16-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The 16-port 2-Gbps switching module is best used for applications requiring high bandwidth; for
example, Inter-Switch Link (ISL) connections between switches and high-performance host or storage
controllers. The 16-port switching module supports a sustained data rate of up to 2 Gbps in each
direction, on all ports simultaneously.
The autosensing 1-Gbps/2-Gbps ports of the 16-port Fibre Channel switching module deliver up to
64 Gbps of continuous, aggregate bandwidth when attached to high-performance servers and storage
subsystems.
