16-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
The 16-port 2-Gbps switching module supports a sustained data rate of up to 2-Gbps in each direction,
on all ports simultaneously. The autosensing 2-Gbps ports of the 16-port Fibre Channel switching
module deliver up to 64-Gbps of continuous, aggregate bandwidth when attached to high-performance
servers and storage subsystems.
Figure 1-26 shows a 16-port 2-Gbps switching module.
