The FC8-16 and FC8-32 supports these port types:
FL_Port, F_Port, E_Port, and M_Port
FC8-48 supports these port types:
E_Port, F_Port, and M_Port
FC10-6 supports this port type:
E_Port and M_Port
FR4-18i supports these port types:
FL_Port, F_Port, E_Ports, M_Port, VE_Port, EX_Port, and VEX_Port
NOTE: Self-discovery is based on switch type (U_Port) with an optional port type
control.

Hot-pluggable, industry-standard small form factor pluggable (SFP) or extended
form factor pluggable (XFP, FC10-6 only), LC connector;
- short-wave laser (SWL), up to 500 m (1,640 ft.);
- long-wave laser (LWL), up to 10 km (6.2 mi);
- extended long-wave laser (ELWL), up to 80 km (49.6 mi); distance depends on
fiber optic cable and port speed
