QUESTION POSED ON: 05 May 2005
Are SFP and optical Fibre Channel (FC) cables interchangeable?

>
Most optical GE cables and optical FC cables now use the SFP format. So, the cables are the same. Keep in mind that the optics, even at 1 gigabyte (GB) speeds, are not the same for FC and GE, but the cables are interchangeable.
