Never had this before, but cutomer has a full rack, and wants to add 2 x DS14's in a new rack in adjacent room 15-20mt apart.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:05:08 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Cable-length-for-FAS20xx/m-p/9416#M620 phickingbotham 2025-06-05T07:05:08Z Re: Cable length for FAS20xx https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Cable-length-for-FAS20xx/m-p/9420#M621 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi and welcome to the Communities! <SPAN __jive_emoticon_name="happy" __jive_macro_name="emoticon" class="jive_macro jive_emote" src="https://community.netapp.com/4.0.8/images/emoticons/happy.gif"></SPAN></P><P></P><P>I think this table is perfectly applicable to your case:</P><P><A class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/san/guides/CFO_cable/cabledistance.shtml" target="_blank">http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/san/guides/CFO_cable/cabledistance.shtml</A></P><P></P><P>It talks about how far cluster heads can be from each other, but at the end of the day your shelf to shelf (or controller to shelf) link is just an FC connection.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Radek</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 19 Nov 2010 16:57:37 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Cable-length-for-FAS20xx/m-p/9420#M621 radek_kubka 2010-11-19T16:57:37Z Re: Cable length for FAS20xx https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Cable-length-for-FAS20xx/m-p/9428#M622 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P> Thanks Radek, Thats what I had pressumed, and all the documentation I had found had only mentioned Cluster lengths etc. Just don't want to get the PO for 2 shelves, only to find the PS hits the problem.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 19 Nov 2010 17:05:40 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Cable-length-for-FAS20xx/m-p/9428#M622 phickingbotham 2010-11-19T17:05:40Z
