FC port specifications
The following sections summarize FC port specifications.
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch FC port specifications
The FC ports are compatible with SWL and LWL SFP transceivers. The strength of the
signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.
The ports operate at 1, 2, and 4 Gb/s and autosense to the highest speed of all
attached devices.
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these
standards, see Regulatory compliance notices .
4/32 and 4/64 SAN Switch FC port specifications
The FC ports are compatible with SWL, LWL, and extended long wavelength (ELWL) SFP
transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.
