Fibre Channel port specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the ED-DCX-4S-B support full duplex link
speeds at 10, 8, 4, 2, or 1 Gbps inbound and outbound, automatically
negotiating to the highest common speed of all devices connected to
the port.
The ports are compatible with optical SWL (short wavelength:
approximately 850 nm), optical LWL (long wavelength:
approximately 1310 nm), and Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL)
laser transmitter SFPs and XFPs (PB-48K-10G-6 only) (approximately
1550 nm). The strength of the signal is determined by the type of SFP
or XFP in use.
The ports are universal and self-configuring, capable of becoming
F_Ports (fabric ports), FL_Ports (fabric loop enabled), or E_Ports
(expansion ports).
The ports meet all required safety standards. For a listing of these
standards, see “Regulatory compliance”.
