Re: TSM Server connecting to ESS by FC
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. -Original Message- From: Adolph Kahan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 8:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Server connecting to ESS by FC You can also buy longer cables - just not from IBM.

Re: TSM Server connecting to ESS by FC
If you are going to order your own cables, just look up the specs in either the IBM sales Manual or in the IBM product Installation manual and buy them from a reliable dealer and you should have no problems. When we order cables, we tell our supplier the exact specs: 50u, multimode and also the connectors: SC, LC, MT-RJ, IBM Duplex Connector and the length. We have had no problems with any of the cables we have ordered. -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Seay, Paul Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 3:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TSM Server connecting to ESS by FC Yeah, I have some 50m cables.
