FC_MR-4 Card Description
example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye
hazard. Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The FC_MR-4 (Fibre Channel 4-port) card uses pluggable Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) to
transport non-SONET/SDH-framed, block-coded protocols over SONET/SDH in virtually concatenated
or contiguously concatenated payloads. The FC_MR-4 can transport Fibre Channel over SONET/SDH
using Fibre-Channel client interfaces and allows transport of one of the following at a time:
• Two contiguously concatenated (CCAT) STS-24c/VC4-8c circuits
• One STS-48c/VC4-16c CCAT
• Two virtually concatenated (VCAT) circuits (STC3c-8V/VC4-8v) compliant with ITU-T G.7041
GFP-T and Telcordia GR-253-CORE
• One STS-24c/VC4-8c CCAT and one STS-24c/VC4-8c VCAT
In Software Release 4.6, only two of the four ports can be active at one time.
