See: Fibre Channel. Fiber optics: Thin glass filaments within a jacket that optically transmits images or signals in the form of light around corners and over distances with extremely low losses.
An industry-standard specification for computer channel communications over fiber optics and offering transmission speeds from 132 Mbaud to 1062 Mbaud and transmission distances from 1 to 10 km.
a highly-reliable, gigabit interconnect technology (using either optical or a copper cable) allows concurrent communications among workstations, mainframes, servers, data storage systems, and other peripherals using SCSI and IP protocols. It provides interconnect systems for multiple topologies that can scale to a total system bandwidth on the order of a terabit per second.
