▼To Connect the Optical Cable

Note – The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel (FC) product (that is, multimode to multimode).

Use multimode fiber-optic cable, which is intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications in TABLE 2-1.

TABLE 2-1Optical Cable Specifications

Fiber-Optic Cable	Maximum Length	Minimum Length	Connector
62.5/125 ∝m	300 meters at 1.0625 Gbps	2 meters	LC
(multimode)	150 meters at 2.125 Gbps
	70 meters at 4.25 Gbps
50/125 ∝m	500 meters at 1.0625 Gbps	2 meters	LC
(multimode)	300 meters at 2.125 Gbps
	150 meters at 4.25 Gbps

1. Connect the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the HBA.
