Multimode Duplex OM3 Optical Cables LC-LC Connectors
In the 7700 FSP, all of the fiber optic connections require 50-micron OM3 multimode duplex cables
with LC connectors. In the 7700 FSP, all Fibre Channel ports are 16 Gbps.
The iSCSI, Server Cluster Interconnect (SCI), and the Replication ports are 10 Gbps Ethernet
(10GbE). Table 1.8 lists the number of optical connections per 7700 FSP Controller, and a total for
a 7700 FSP storage cluster (the listed optical cable values do not reflect a stretched cluster
environment).
Note:
The WAN replication cables (
rep0/rep1
) are optional and are only required if the
replication feature is used.
