Product Description
Product Description
Xserve RAID connects to a host Xserve or Power Mac G4 system using the dual-port
2Gb Apple Fiber Channel PCI Card. This high-speed storage interface offers
dedicated bandwidth with a throughput of up to 400MB/s. The Fiber Channel
interconnect technology supports multiple application environments, using
point-to-point, loop and fabric topologies. The PCI card comes with two
2.9-meter (9.5-foot) copper cables.For connecting over longer distances, Apple's
card accepts SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) optical transceivers for use with
fiber-optic cables that can extend over 500 meters. This is particularly useful
for organizations using Xserve RAID to back up or archive critical data.
