Yeah, I have some 50m cables. They will make whatever you want at Cable Express. IBM only has 2 lengths. Their cables are extremely expensive, though they are good cables. IBM only sells 50u cables, so be careful mixing in a run. It will cause you problems.

We have in the past provided our customers with longer cables when required.

Note that you do not want to make more than 2 connections like this between the light sources. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Mansfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 2:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Server connecting to ESS by FC The longest shortwave cable allowed is 500 meters, for 50um multimode fiber (ESS FC 3022). You just need to get longer cables than the 31m cables included with the ESS.

Our longest FC cable is 31 metres long. But I want to place the server in a room, which is more than 31 metres away. Could anyone show me a Webpage or any other information where I can find informations about the possibilities to use cables longer than 31 Metres. Someone told me, that this is the longest possible cable.....but I cannot believe it. (I know, this isn't really a TSM question, but if someone could help me, this would be great) Greetings Gerhard Wolkerstorfer
