DELL Emulex 16 Port Fibre Pass Thru Module Un328

Dell Emulex 16 Port Fibre Pass-Through Module

This Dell Emulex module provides sixteen fibre ports in a pass-through configuration for server chassis connectivity. It suits administrators expanding fibre-channel links within compatible Dell enclosures. The unit arrives new and weighs 5.1 units. It is identified by part reference 328.

Practical limits of the pass-through interface

The pass-through design forwards signals without active switching, so total bandwidth depends on the attached transceivers and cabling. Distance and speed are constrained by the optics and fibre type chosen by the installer. The module adds no management layer of its own. Builders needing active switching or protocol conversion must look elsewhere.
