Fibre Channel In Practice Schedule for this course

2 Day Course

This course is the single most important class for engineers working with the Fibre Channel physical layer. The Fibre Channel standard consists of over one dozen different standards - this seminar combines the relevant portions of these standards with real-world knowledge, saving the designer time and effort. The course includes an examination of the data encoding techniques used for Fibre Channel along with the implications of disparity and practical clock recovery. Both optical and copper media are considered from an implementation and cost perspective. A theoretical analysis of both deterministic and random jitter is included, which is then contrasted against the practical realities of jitter measurement.
