Glossary–6 HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.6 for IBM AIX Installation and Configuration Guide
FC–PH The Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling standard.
FC–SB Fibre Channel Single Byte Command Code Set
FC–SW Fibre Channel Switched Topology and Switch Controls
FCC Federal Communications Commission. The federal agency responsible for
establishing standards and approving electronic devices within the United
States.
FCC Class A This certification label appears on electronic devices that can only be used in a
commercial environment within the United States.
FCC Class B This certification label appears on electronic devices that can be used in either
a home or a commercial environment within the United States.
FCP The mapping of SCSI-3 operations to Fibre Channel.
FDDI Fiber Distributed Data Interface. An ANSI standard for 100 megabaud
transmission over fiber optic cable.
FD SCSI The fast, narrow, differential SCSI bus with an 8-bit data transfer rate of 10
MB/s. See also FWD SCSI and SCSI.
fiber A fiber or optical strand. Spelled fibre in Fibre Channel.
fiber optic cable A transmission medium designed to transmit digital signals in the form of
pulses of light. Fiber optic cable is noted for its properties of electrical
isolation and resistance to electrostatic contamination.
Fibre Channel A high speed, high-bandwidth serial protocol for channels and networks that
interconnect over twisted pair wires, coaxial cable or fiber optic cable. The
Fibre Channel Switched (FC-SW) (fabric) offers up to 16 million ports with
cable lengths of up to 10 kilometers. The Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop
(FC-AL) topology offers speeds of up to 100 Mbytes/seconds and up to 127
nodes, all connected in serial. In contrast to SCSI technology, Fibre Channel
does not require ID switches or terminators. The FC-AL loop may be
connected to a Fibre Channel fabric for connection to other nodes.
fibre channel
topology
An interconnection scheme that allows multiple Fibre Channel ports to
communicate with each other. For example, point-to-point, Arbitrated Loop,
and switched fabric are all Fibre Channel topologies.
FL_Port A port in a fabric where N_Port or an NL_Port may be connected.
flush The act of writing dirty data from cache to a storage media.
