Dual port fibre channel GBIC
Fibre channel and SCSI specialist Selectronix has released what is claimed to be the world's first dual-port fibre optic Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC).
The new high-performance connectors are specifically designed to support the bandwidths which will be required in RAID arrays and multimedia PCs for transferring data between high capacity HDDs and to CD-ROM/DVD drives with read/write capabilities.
The SATA interface is specified for cable runs of up to 100cm.
The current range available from Selectronix includes: cable-mount signal connectors; cable-mount power connectors; combined PCB mount connectors; 7-pin PCB mount signal connectors; 15-way power cable assemblies; and 7-way signal cable assemblies.
Key features of the solution include a passive locking system and a polarisation feature, as well as hold-downs to improve retention to the PCB.
Integrators are offered the option of powering the drive through the specified SATA power interface, or through their preferred alternative power connector, where a legacy interface exists for example.
