SP Optical Cabling to Switch or Server
Optical cables connect the SFF LC transceivers on the storage
processors to the external Fibre Channel environment.
The maximum length when using either the 62.5
µ
m or
50
µ
m
cable (noted in
the table above) includes two connections or splices between the source and
destination. For a detailed overview of cable types, connections, and lengths,
refer to the
EMC CLARiiON CX300, CX300i, CX500, CX500i. and CX700
Storage Systems Configuration Planning Guide
.
CAUTION
!
EMC does not recommend mixing 62.5-
µ
m
and 50-
µ
m
optical cables
in the same link. In certain situations you can add a 50-
µ
m
adapter
cable to the end of an already installed 62.5-
µ
m
cable plant. Contact
your EMC representative for details.
