Overview
20 T10000: Interface Reference Manual August 2016
Overview
• Serial connection
• Copper (electrical) or fiber (optical) transmissions
• Multiple protocols (such as SCSI, IP, HIPPI, IPI-3)
• Information transparent
• 100 – 1600 MB data transfer rates
• Scalable for data rates, distance, media, and protocols
In 1994, the Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC–PH), or
ANSI X3.230–1994, was completed, differing from every other architecture at the
time. This specification married the strengths of channels, including high throughput
and low overhead, with the strengths of networks, including flexibility, long distance
capability, and high connectivity.
