FC port speci
fications
The followi
ng sections summarize FC port specifications.
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch FC port specifications
The FC ports are compatible with SWL and LW L SFP transceivers. The strength of the
signalisdeterminedbythetypeoftransceiverinuse.
The ports operate at 1 , 2, and 4 Gb/s and autosense to the highest speed of all
attached devices.
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these
standards, see Regulatory compliance notices.
4/32 and 4/64 SAN Switch FC port specifications
The FC ports are compatible with SWL, LWL, and extended long wavelength (ELWL) SFP
transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the t ype of transceiver in use.
