Cable r equir ements

NOTE:

Optical cables for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 must be ordered separately.

For cables measuring up to 500 meters (1 Gbps) or 300 meters (2 Gbps), use

multi-mode Fibre Channel cables. For longer cables, use single-mode Fibre Channel

cables.

Multi-mode optical c ables are connected to short-wave optical transceiver m odu les in

a switch. Single-mode optical cables are connected to long-wave optical transceiver

modules in a switch. Multi-mode cables should use 50/125 optical fibers, and

single-mode cables typically use 9/125 optical fibers for distances up to 10 km.

Verify that connectors interfacing with the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140 use LC

Duplex connectors with a PC finish. In addition, the connector at the opposite end

of the cable must be of either LC or SC type, depending on the requirements of the

connected device.
