410 Which fibre switches does Sonnet recommend for the R1600FIBRE?Sep-29-09
Sonnet recommends fibre switches from Brocade or Cisco as excellent performance matches to the R1600FIBRE. Sonnet also supports fibre switches from Qlogic, which have very good performance.

738 What kind of fibre patch cables are needed for the Sonnet Fibre Channel controllers?Mar-29-13
The cable length depends on fiber speed.

For 8Gb connections:
LC 62.5/125 OM1 Multimode Duplex cables...up to 20m (Sonnet cables TCB-FBR-xxM)
LC 50/125 OM2 Multimode Duplex cables......up to 50m
LC 50/125 OM3 Multimode Duplex cables......up to 150m
LC 50/125 OM4 Multimode Duplex cables......up to 190m

For 16 Gb connections:
LC 62.5/125 OM1 Multimode Duplex cables...up to 15m
LC 50/125 OM2 Multimode Duplex cables......up to 35m
LC 50/125 OM3 Multimode Duplex cables......up to 100m
LC 50/125 OM4 Multimode Duplex cables......up to 125m

Each fibre cable represents two MMF (Multimode Fiber) fiber optic cables: one for transmit and one for receive (the color of the cables are usually orange). A LC duplex style connector is needed to plug into Sonnet-supplied fibre channel cards.

LC stands for Lucent Connector. The LC is a small form-factor fiber optic connector. A duplex LC connector takes two simplex LC connectors and attaches them together. The term \u8220 LC cable\u8221 is generally used to describe a fiber patch cable with two fiber strands, and a LC duplex connector at each end.
