The LightPulse™ LP9002L Fibre Channel PCI host adapter provides support
for 2Gb/s Fibre Channel data rates, delivering the industry’s highest
performance. The LP9002L features automatic speed negotiation capability
which allows complete compatibility with existing 1Gb/s Fibre Channel
SANs, while allowing seamless upgrades to higher speed 2Gb/s SANs.
The LP9002L provides the exibility and broad interoperability needed
for complex highly scalable SANs. The LP9002L provides a unique
combination of features, including switched fabric support using F_Port
and FL_Port connections, full-duplex data transfers, high data integrity
features, support for all Fibre Channel topologies, and support for
service class  and .
The LP9002L also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior
performance in storage area networks, delivering low latency and high
throughput in switched, arbitrated loop and clustered environments.
Support for ber optic cabling is provided through a small form factor
(LC) optical embedded interface.
