Cable Types A-1

APPENDIX A

Cable Types

Copper cables are best suited for short local connections, and fiber-optic cables are

typically used for medium- and long-distance connections. Both types of cables sup-

port 100 megabytes per second (MB/sec) maximum bandwidth. Figures A-1 through

A-4 show the cables to use when connecting the various SAN hardware components.

You

must

use copper cables to connect a Dell PowerVault Fibre Channel switch and

the Dell PowerVault 650F/651F disk processor enclosure (DPE) or Dell PowerVault

660F storage system, limiting the distance between them to 12 meters (m).

The connection between the server’s host bus adapter (HBA) and the PowerVault

Fibre Channel switch may be copper or optical. Use optical cables when possible

because they provide ground isolation and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).

You may use copper connections between the server and the PowerVault Fibre Chan-

nel switch when the distance is less than 12 m or the components are in the same

rack.

The PowerVault Fibre Channel switch includes a straight-through serial cable with

DB-9 connections to enable the management of the PowerVault Fibre Channel switch

through the serial port on the switch.

The PowerVault 35F multiport bridge includes a serial cable with a DB-9–to–RJ45 con-

nection to enable management of the PowerVault 35F through its serial port.

Figure A-1 shows the cables that can be used between the SAN components when

connecting servers, switches, and PowerVault 650F, 651F, and 630F storage systems.
