Cable r equir ements

NOTE:

Optical cables for the Edge Switch 2/12, Edge Switch 2/12, and Edge Switch 2/32

must be ordered separately.

For cables measuring up to 500 m eters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gbps) , use

multi-mode Fibre Channel cables. For longer cables, use single-mode Fibre Channel

cables.

Multi-mode op tical cables are connected to short-wave optical transceiver modules in

a switch. Single-mode o ptical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver

modules in a switch. Multi-mode cables should use 50/125 optical fibers, and

single-mode cables typically use 9/125 optical fibers for distances up to 10 km.

Verify that connectors interfacing with the Edge Switch 2/12, Edge Switch 2/24, and

Edge Switch 2/32 use LC Duplex connectors with a PC finish. In add ition, the connector

at the opposite end of the c able must be of either LC or SC type, depending on the

requirements of the connected device.
