Fibre Channel cables are not included with the library. The number of optical
fiber cables required for attaching the library to a Fibre Channel network
depends on how many tape drives are installed.
Each of the tape drive optical fiber ports contains a transmitter and receiver
optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains an internal
semiconductor laser diode that operates at a wavelength of 850 nm
(nanometers).
Use either 50-micron or 62.5-micron multi-mode optical fiber cables with dual
single-channel (LC) connectors.
50-micron multi-mode optical fiber cables must comply with the
400-M5-SN-I classification as specified in the Fibre Channel standard
(FC-PI-2).
62.5-micron multi-mode optical fiber cables must meet the 400-M6-SN-I
classification.
