Fibre Channel supports data transfer rates up to 200MBps half-duplex and
400 MBps full-duplex on optical interfaces. The QLE2360/2362 HBA uses a
multimode optical interface for intermediate distances (less than 500 meters at the
data rate of 1 Gbps; less than 300 meters at the data rate of 2Gbps).
With its increased connectivity and performance, Fibre Channel is the I/O
technology preferred and used by system designers.
