| Fibre Channel Overview |
| Problems with Fibre Channel |
| Additional optical cable considerations are as follows: |
| • Cable between two nodes must use the same core size. |
|
|
NOTE | The limitation on mixing core sizes applies only to cable between two |
| nodes and is only a concern when splicing or connecting optical cables |
| directly together. Different size optical cable can be used in the same |
| Fabric between different sets of nodes. |
| • Three core sizes supported by Fibre Channel are: 62.5 micron, 50 |
| |
| micron, and 9 micron. |
