Celerity FC-22XH
The Celerity FC-22XH is a Fibre Channel storage
adapter which uses embedded hub technology to
provide four external connections to two
independent FC channels. The hub technology
helps simplify SAN fabric design and provides
more capabilities than found in a typical adapter.
The FC-22XH allows you to solve cost and
configuration issues in workgroup and complex
SAN designs. Several users may share Fibre
Channel connections to maximize the value of
each channel without the added expense of using
additional adapters or PCI expansion slots. The
FC-22XH design provides reduced total cost of
ownership (TCO).
These capabilities are provided without
sacrificing link quality. The onboard hub digitally
retimes all signals to reduce jitter (poor signal
quality) to attached devices. Port bypass circuitry
automatically detours around unused or
malfunctioning ports.
