Frequently Asked Questions

What is 64GFC?
64GFC (Gen 7 Fibre Channel) delivers 64Gb/s per port — double the bandwidth of 32GFC — for the most demanding enterprise SAN workloads.
Is short wave compatible with my existing fibre cabling?
Short wave (850nm) requires multi-mode fibre (MMF). If your existing infrastructure uses single-mode fibre, a long wave variant is required.

The Dell 540-BDNS delivers 2-port 64GFC Fibre Channel connectivity in a Dell-validated Emulex HBA — the right upgrade for PowerEdge environments moving to next-generation SAN bandwidth.
