Channel options
This appendix describes all channel attributes, the required cable types, the maximum unrepeated distance, and the bit rate for the z13.
For all optical links, the connector type is LC Duplex, except for the 12xIFB and the ICA SR connection, which are established with multifiber push-on (MPO) connectors. The MPO connector of the 12xIFB connection has one row of 12 fibers, and the MPO connector of the ICA connection has two rows of 12 fibers. The electrical Ethernet cable for the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) connectivity is connected through an RJ45 jack.
Table B-1 lists the attributes of the channel options that are supported on z13.
