For optimal performance, no more than 30 meters difference is recommended. “* * Fabric OS Administrator's Guide, Fabric OS 7.0.1, Brocade 53-1002446-01

8. SmartOptics AS Phone: +47 213 79 180 Mail:info@smartoptics.com Web: www.smartoptics.com Embedded WDM – So how does it work? Up to 80 FC / IP connections, Up to 100km, no power required 1.Use colored C/DWDM SFP/SFP+/XFP directly in SAN/LAN equipment 2.Use C/DWDM Mux/Demux units to combine/split wavelength channels 3.LC-LC Patch cord from transceiver to multiplexer  Wavelengths are like virtual fiber pairs  no additional latency, ISL Trunking possible  no special SAN equipment configurations  passive solution, thus best reliability typ. 450 years MTBF  Ethernet and Fibre Channel/FICON can be used on the same system

9. SmartOptics AS Phone: +47 213 79 180 Mail:info@smartoptics.com Web: www.smartoptics.com Why embedded WDM in the Datacenter ? In general: No need for active WDM equipment for simple poin-to-point networks No management overhead Lower cost (both CAPEX and OPEX) Less space No power consumption No extra points of failure For ISL Trunking: Active equipment adds extra Latency Muxponder Solutions do mostly NOT support trunking
