It acts as the key interface between Fibre Channel-specific devices—such as FC switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage arrays—and optical fiber cabling, enabling reliable, full-duplex communication critical to enterprise storage systems. Fibre Channel typically runs on optical. Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transfer protocol providing in-order, lossless delivery of raw block data. FC components include. The FC SAN physical components such as network cables network adapters and hubs or switches can be used to design a Fibre channel Storage Area Network.
