For systems that come with 8Gb Fibre channel host ports. They deliver fast I/O
performance for Storage Area Network (SAN) applications. Optical cables can be
used over distances and have been shown to be more reliable. Due to the demands
of high transfer rates, optical cables are preferred for 8/4Gbps fiber connectivity.
Optical cables are also less susceptible to EMI.
