Storage product interface and transport distance rules
Table 79 through Table 82 and Table 85 and Table 86 describe the maximum distances supported
for each cable segment type (switch-to-switch or device-to-switch) for each interface and transport
type. Unless otherwise specified, the distances specified apply to both switch-to-switch (ISL) connectivity
and device-to-switch connectivity.
See the HP Continuous Access EVA documentation for interconnect and distance rules for those
products.
