Fibre Channel Simplex Cable - Which end is RX or TX?

user8708553 Jul 28, 2012 12:54 AM

Hello,

I am new to Fibre Channel and I have a question I wonder if someone
could please help.

If I have a Fibre Channel simplex cable, is there a way to tell which end is
TX and which end is RX? Or would it work if I use either end for TX or RX?

Thank you so so much in advance,

Akino

Hi.
Simplex cable don't have RX and TX end. Both ends are the same.
Simplex cable support data transfer to both side at same time, for this you should have special transivers.
Generaky - it's WDM transivers.

Regards.
