Fibre Channel Transceivers
The SANbox 6140 router supports SFP optical transceivers for the Fibre Channel
ports. A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to
transmit and receive data. Duplex fibre optic cables plug into the transceivers,
which then connect to the devices. A 1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel port can
transmit at 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps; however, the transceiver must also be capable of
delivering these rates.
The SFP transceivers are hot pluggable. You can remove or install a transceiver
while the router is operating without harming the router or the transceiver.
However, this interrupts communication with the connected device. See page 4-4
for information about installing and removing SFP optical transceivers.
