Long Wave or Short Wave FICON: The FICON interface
comes with the choice of connecting to either a single-mode optic
cable supporting Long Wave signals or to multimode optic cable
that requires Short Wave signals. The difference is in the form of
a transceiver that plugs into the FICON interface card.
Transceivers used on both ends of the cable must be compatible
to the cable and each other. The card used by the CCA-3074
comes with the transceivers factory installed in it so it is
important to order the proper card variation to plug into your
equipment. Refer to the FICON Cabling Requirements section
in the previous chapter for additional information.
