Fibre optique ni ibikoresho byihuta byogukwirakwiza imiyoboro yihuta, byitwa kandi umuyoboro wa fibre cyangwa SAN switch. Ugereranije nubusanzwe busanzwe, ikoresha fibre optique nkuburyo bwo kohereza. Ibyiza byo gukwirakwiza fibre optique ni umuvuduko wihuse nubushobozi bukomeye bwo kurwanya interineti. Hariho ubwoko bubiri bwingenzi bwa fibre optique, imwe nimwe ya FC ikoreshwa muguhuza ububiko. Ubundi ni Ethernet ihindura, icyambu ni optique ya fibre optique, kandi isura ni kimwe n’amashanyarazi asanzwe, ariko ubwoko bwimbere buratandukanye.

Kuva ibipimo ngenderwaho bya Fibre Channel byasabwe na ANSI (American Industrial Standards Protocol), tekinoroji ya Fibre yitabiriwe cyane mubice byose. Hamwe no kugabanuka gahoro gahoro igiciro cyibikoresho byumuyoboro wa fibre no kugaragara gahoro gahoro umuvuduko mwinshi, kwizerwa cyane, hamwe nigipimo gito cyamakosa ya tekinoroji ya fibre, abantu baritondera cyane tekinoroji ya fibre. Umuyoboro wa Fibre Umuyoboro wabaye igice cyingirakamaro mu kumenyekanisha imiyoboro yabitswe. Umuyoboro wa Fibre wanabaye ibikoresho byibanze bigize umuyoboro wa SAN, kandi ufite umwanya numurimo wingenzi. Umuyoboro wa Fibre ni igice cyingenzi cyurusobe rwububiko, kandi imikorere yacyo igira ingaruka itaziguye kumikorere yububiko rusange. Umuyoboro wa Fibre Umuyoboro ufite topologiya yoroheje, harimo point-to-point topologiya, guhinduranya topologiya na topologiya. Kubaka umuyoboro, guhinduranya topologiya niyo ikoreshwa cyane.

Nyuma yuko umuyoboro wa Fibre uhindura gukora serial-to-parallel, 10B / 8B decoding, bit synchronisation hamwe nijambo guhuza hamwe nibindi bikorwa kuri seriveri yakiriwe yihuta yohereza amakuru, ishyiraho ihuza na seriveri nibikoresho byabitswe bihujwe, na nyuma yo kwakira amakuru Nyuma yo kugenzura imbonerahamwe yoherejwe, ohereza kuva ku cyambu kijyanye n'ibikoresho bijyanye. Kimwe na Ethernet yamakuru yamakuru, ikadiri yamakuru yibikoresho bya Fibre ya Fibre nayo ifite imiterere yimiterere ihamye hamwe na nyirubwite yateganijwe gushyirwaho kugirango bikorwe neza. Ukurikije ubwoko butandukanye bwa serivise, Umuyoboro wa Fibre nawo ufite uburyo bwo guhuza impera-iherezo cyangwa uburyo bwo kugenzura ibintu. Mubyongeyeho, Umuyoboro wa Fibre utanga kandi serivisi nubuyobozi nka serivisi yizina, igihe na alias serivisi, na serivisi yo kuyobora.
