8 HP StorageWorks Director release notes
Cable requirements
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 cables are connected to short-wave optical transceiver
modules 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.
