The Fibre host ports connect to Fibre Channel host adapters (HBA) that feature a
8Gbps transfer rate, SFP interface, and support for full-duplex transfer, best come
with a 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X or PCI-E interface. See Infortrend’s QVL list for the
latest certified items.
WARNING
All Fibre cables are sensitive and must be handled with care. To avoid interference,
the cable routing path must be carefully planned and the cables must not be bent.

Fibre-Host Components
Laser
Wavelengths: The system supports SFP transceivers using lasers on fiber optic
cables emitting short wave (SW) beams (770nm-860nm). Cables using either of
these wavelengths can be used.
Laser types: Two (2) types of laser devices can be used on FC cables: Optical
Fibre Control (OFC) and non-OFC lasers. The OFC lasers are high-powered and
can be used over long distances.
Safety features: Due to their high power output, OFC lasers usually come with a
safety mechanism that switches the laser off as soon as it is unplugged.
Non-OFC lasers are low power and do not come with these safety features;
however, they can still inflict damage.
