Streched MetroCluster with SAS-Optical - ACP Cabling required?

GUNNAR75 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 20:04:08 GMT

Hello,

In a Streched MetroCluster-Configuration (DataOnTap 8.2.4 7-Mode) with Optical SAS, ACP-Cabling required / needed ?
The distance (from patch-panel Site1 to patch-panel Site 2) are under 100m.

kind regards

Hi GUNNAR75,

in your special case ACP cabling would work and could be implemented, but MetroCluster does not expect ACP to be present.

So no - ACP is *not required*.
