2Gb/sec Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) SW Transceiver Kit
2 Gb/s Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) SW Transceivers are industry standard connection devices, which hot plug into 2 Gb/s infrastructure
components such as 2 Gb/s Fabric Switches. StorageWorks 2 Gb/s SFP SW Transceivers support distances up to 300 metres at 2 Gb/s and 500 metres
at 1 Gb/s using multi-mode fiber optic cable.
Multi-Mode Fibre Channel Cables
Multi-Mode Fibre Channel cables provide a thin, flexible cabling solution that is immune to electromagnetic interference. Compaq offers cables to connect
the MSA1000 to both 2 Gb and 1 Gb Fibre Channel infrastructures. LC to LC cables are used when connecting the MSA1000 to other 2 Gb Fibre
Channel components because both connections will utilize small form factor transceivers. LC to SC cables are used when connecting the MSA1000 to 1
Gb Fibre Channel components. 1 Gb components use the larger GBIC style transceivers.
