SFP Connectors and Cables
Each of the Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet ports on the SAN Router
has a socket for a Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver. SFPs
are hot-pluggable modules, meaning they can be installed or
removed while the SAN Router is powered on and in operation. SFPs
support both Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and Fibre Channel (FC)
transceivers. The SAN Router is shipped with 16 SFP transceivers for
Multi-Mode Fibre (MMF) connectivity. MMF Fibre supports
transmission lengths up to 550 m. The provided SFPs are compatible
with both Fibre Channel and GE connections. The SAN Router
supports other SFPs for different cable types. The transceivers you
choose must match the port configuration.
