2.4 Connecting the Fibre Channel ports
The Fibre Channel ports on the ATTO FibreBridge 4500C/R/D connect the bridge into either a Fabric
or Arbitrated Loop.
Fibre Channel technology offers a variety of
cabling options including standard copper,
equalized copper, multimode fiber optic, and
single mode fiber optic.
The FibreBridge 4500C/R/D uses an SC fiber
optic cable connector.
The type of cable to use varies depending upon
the application, environment and distance. The
following tables illustrate the different cable
options available.
Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both
ends with the proper connectors.
