Xserve RAID: Which Fibre Channel cables can I use?

Learn about the different types of Fibre Channel cables used with Xserve RAID.
The first generation Xserve RAID has HSSDC2 connectors on the controller modules, while the second generation Xserve RAID has SFP connectors.

Since there are two different connectors available on the Xserve RAID controllers, SFP and HSSDC2, verify the connector type before ordering cables. If you need to order Apple Copper Fibre Channel cables with HSSDC2 to SFP connectors or cables with SFP to SFP connectors, they are both available from the Apple Store (http://www.apple.com/store/).

Note: The Apple Fibre Channel PCI card available from the Apple Store has SFP connectors. The card includes two 2.9m Apple Copper Fibre Channel Cables (SFP to SFP).
