16-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The 16-port 2-Gbps switching module is best used for applications requiring high bandwidth; for example, Inter-Switch Link (ISL) connections between switches and high-performance host or storage controllers. The 16-port switching module supports a sustained data rate of up to 2 Gbps in each direction, on all ports simultaneously. Figure 1-15shows a 16-port 2-Gbps switching module.

The autosensing 1-Gbps/2-Gbps ports of the 16-port Fibre Channel switching module deliver up to 64 Gbps of continuous, aggregate bandwidth when attached to high-performance servers and storage subsystems.
