Galaxy GHDX-2422S-8+12F4D Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
FC Host Connection Prerequisites
4-2
Laser types: Two (2) types of laser devices can be used in FC cables: Optical Fibre
Control (OFC) and non-OFC lasers. The OFC lasers are high-powered and can be used
over long distances.
Safety features: Due to their high power output, OFC lasers usually come with a safety
mechanism that switches the laser off as soon as it is unplugged. Non-OFC lasers are low
power and do not come with these safety features; however, they can still inflict damage.
4.1.3 SFP Transceivers
On the subsystem’s host ports, electric signals are converted by SFP transceivers into
laser light pulses. FC cables connect the subsystem’s host ports through SFP
transceivers. These transceivers should typically have at least 4Gbps bi-directional data
links, a laser transmitter (for fiber optic cables), an LC-type connector, compatibility with
multi-mode cables, and a metal enclosure to lower the EMI.
NOTE:
LC connectors are small form-factor, fiber-optic connectors based on a 1.25-mm
ceramic ferrule with the latching mechanisms of modular plug and jack.
Other beneficial features for a typical SFP transceiver include a single power supply, low
power dissipation, and hot-swap capability. It is also important that any transceiver you
use meets the FC performance and reliability specifications.
NOTE:
SFP modules must be purchased separately. A variety of FC cables and transceivers
can be used. Please purchase the correct SFP modules from your subsystem
vendor/distributor and contact them for the latest list of certified modules.
4.1.4 Fibre Channel Topologies
The Fibre Channel Standard has been designed to support Fibre Channel arbitrated loop
(FC-AL).
FC-AL: This is the most common topology currently in use. Fibre Channel devices
are all connected in a loop. Each device is assigned an arbitrated loop physical
address (AL_PA). The FC-AL supports 127 devices in a single loop.
All GHDX-2422S-8F4D and GHDX-2422S-12F4D subsystems support the above
topology.
