ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to data networks, and more particularly, to platforms, modules and systems for networking at least one device having Fibre Channel node functionality with another device. Networking of Fibre Channel-enabled devices is provided by an apparatus that includes a circuit board having a first set of signal paths; a first transceiver having a first optical I/O port, a first transceiver output and a first transceiver input; a first I/O connection for coupling to a first Fibre Channel port and for receiving signals transmitted by the first transceiver output via a subset of the first set of signal paths; and a second I/O connection for coupling to a second Fibre Channel port and for receiving signals from the first Fibre Channel Port.
