ESCON Cabling Requirements
The ESCON interface card used by the CCA-3074 uses the larger Duplex ESCON
interface cable. Most newer mainframes such as the z-processors use the smaller MTRJ
connector. Both Duplex/Duplex ESCON and Duplex/MTRJ ESCON cables can be
obtained from Visara or sourced locally.
FICON Cabling Requirements
The FICON card used by the CCA-3074 comes in three versions; single port, dual port,
and quad port. Each interface uses the popular LC type connector. Each FICON interface
can be ordered to support either Long Wave FICON Transceivers or Short Wave FICON
Transceivers. Selection of Long Wave or Short Wave is dependent on what the CCA-
3074 will be communicating with on the other end of the FICON cable. Note that FICON
cables also come in Long Wave (single-mode) or Short Wave (multi-mode) versions. The
FICON interface supported by the CCA-3074 is capable of running at 2.125 Gbps, 4.25
Gbps, and 8 Gbps speeds. Maximum cable lengths are dependent upon the transceiver
type used and the speed of the interface according to the following table.
