Celerity FC-22XH

The Celerity FC-22XH is a Fibre Channel storage adapter which uses embedded hub technology to provide four external connections to two independent FC channels. The hub technology helps simplify SAN fabric design and provides more capabilities than found in a typical adapter.

The FC-22XH allows you to solve cost and configuration issues in workgroup and complex SAN designs. Several users may share Fibre Channel connections to maximize the value of each channel without the added expense of using additional adapters or PCI expansion slots. The FC-22XH design provides reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

These capabilities are provided without sacrificing link quality. The onboard hub digitally retimes all signals to reduce jitter (poor signal quality) to attached devices. Port bypass circuitry automatically detours around unused or malfunctioning ports.
