Data transmission ranges
Table 7 provides the data transmission ranges for different cable types and port speeds.
Up to 500km at 1G is supported when using long distance transport system such as DWDM.
Modes of operation Fibre Channel Class 2 and Class 3
Fabric initialization Complies with FC-SW-3 Rev. 6.6
FC-IP (IP over Fibre Channel) Complies with FC-IP 2.3 of FCA profile
Aggregate Switch I/O
bandwidth
A total 132 Gbit/sec:
• 128 Gbit/sec if all 16 FC ports are running at 4
Gbit/sec, full duplex
• 4 Gbit/sec if both GbE ports are running at 1 Gbit/sec,
full duplex
Port-to-port latency Less than 2 microseconds with no contention (destination port
is free)
