*Base2 used throughout all applications for Fibre Channel infrastructure and devices. Each speed maintains backward compatibility at least two previous generations (I.e., 8GFC backward compatible to 4GFC and 2GFC)
**Base10 is for ISLs, core connections, and other high speed applications demanding maximum bandwidth. Except for 100GFC (which follow Ethernet standards and compatibility guidelines), each Base10 speed is expected to be compatible at least one previous generation.
***FCoE: Fibre Channel over Ethernet tunnels FC through Ethernet and is compatible with all existing Fibre Channel fabric environments. FCoE ports follow Ethernet standards and compatibility guidelines.
†Equivalent
Line Rate: FCoE rates listed are equivalent data rates for serial
stream methodologies. However, final output speed may be generated with
aggregated methodologies.
‡Dates: Future dates estimated
