Multi-mode fiber optic cable
A Veritas &aModel; Appliance compute node communicates with the required 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf through multi-mode fiber optic cables. One end of each fiber optic cable connects to PCIe-based 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapters that are installed in the compute node. The other end of the fiber optic cable connects to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf's Fibre Channel RAID controller. Both ends of the fiber optic cable use LC connectors.
Fiber optic cables require Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) transceivers, which are provided with each device having Fibre Channel ports. The diagram shows the SFP, labeled 1, and the fiber optic cable which is attached to it, labeled 2.
Supported SFPs are listed:
Finisar
JDSU
