Supported Distances
Table 11 summarizes the supported distances between a host and devices connected to short-wave ports with 50-micron and 62.5-micron cables and long-wave ports with 9-micron cables. The table does not include combinations of mixed cable lengths.
Table 11 Supported Cable Distances | | |
| Short-Wave1 | Short-Wave1 | Long-Wave2 |
| 50 micron | 62.5 micron | 9 micron |
Connection | (multimode) | (multimode) | (single-mode) |
Host to Hub | 500 m | 175 m | Not supported |
Hub to Hub | 500 m | 175 m | 3 km 3 |
Hub to Device | 500 m | 175 m | Not supported |
Total | 1500 m | 525 m | Varies |
1Ports 1-10 on short-wave hub; ports 1-9 on long-wave hub
2Long-wave port on long-wave hub
3Under certain conditions, single-mode 9-micron cables are supported at distances up to 10 km (see page 105 for more information). The 10-km capability is supported only for long-wave hubs connected to HP-UX servers.
Model S10 Short-Wave Hub
Note | Stated distances assume 50-micron multimode cable. |
The short-wave hub supports distances up to 500 meters between a server host and the hub, between a hub port and a connected FC-AL device, and between two short-wave hubs. The maximum distance between a host server and FC-AL devices connected to cascaded short-wave hubs is 1500 meters.
