Supported Distances; Supported Cable Distances - HP L10 User Manual

Supported Distances

Table 11 summarizes the supported distances between a host and devices connected to
short-wave ports with 50-micron and 62.5-micron cables and long-wave ports with
9-micron cables. The table does not include combinations of mixed cable lengths.

Under certain conditions, single-mode 9-micron cables are supported at
distances up to 10 km (see page 105 for more information). The 10-km
capability is supported only for long-wave hubs connected to HP-UX servers.
Model S10 Short-Wave Hub
Note Stated distances assume 50-micron multimode cable.
The short-wave hub supports distances up to 500 meters between a server host and the
hub, between a hub port and a connected FC-AL device, and between two short-wave hubs.
The maximum distance between a host server and FC-AL devices connected to cascaded
short-wave hubs is 1500 meters.
