transceivers. LC-type duplex fiber optic cable connectors are designed for SFP
transceivers. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper orientation.
Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector combination that matches the
device host bus adapter.

when connected to a single device. Both GL_Ports and G_Ports self configure as
E_Ports when connected to another switch.
