Optical Fibers
The storage system communicates with Fibre Channel switches through optical fibers. One end of the optical fiber connects to the Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA), and the other end connects to the Fibre Channel switch or the application server. The two ends of the optical fiber are LC connectors.
Figure 4-241 shows the appearance of optical fibers.
