Fiber optic host cables

Each host port requires one LC-LC type fiber optic cable to attach to host systems or switches. Cables are available with two duplex LC-type connectors (LC-LC type) of various lengths.

The fiber optic host cables can be multimode 50 micrometers or 9.0 micrometers for distances up to 300 meters at 2 Gbps performance for the host port.

Table 1 lists the feature codes used to order 50 micron (multimode) host cables for use with the fibre-channel/FICON host shortwave small form-factor pluggable (SFP) feature (#1310 for model 1750-511 or #1320 for model 1750-522). The cables include an LC connector for attachment to the DS6800 with SFPs. The cables range from 2 meters to 31 meters in length.

Table 2 lists the feature codes used to order a 9 micron (singlemode) host cable for use with the fibre-channel/FICON host longwave SFP feature (#1315 for model 1750-511 or #1325 for model 1750-522). The cables include an LC-type connector for attachment to the DS6800 SFPs and are available with an LC-type connector for attachment to servers and fabric components. The cables range from 2 meters to 31 meters in length.
