Fiber optic switch ndeyekumhanya-mhanya network transmission relay midziyo, inonziwo fiber chiteshi switch kana SAN switch.Kana ichienzaniswa neakajairika switch, inoshandisa fiber optic tambo senzira yekufambisa.Zvakanakira zve optical fiber transmission inokurumidza kukurumidza uye yakasimba anti-kupindira kugona.Kune mhando mbiri huru dzefiber optic switch, imwe ndeye FC switch inoshandiswa kubatanidza kuchengetedza.Imwe yacho ndeye Ethernet switch, chiteshi ndeye optical fiber interface, uye chitarisiko chakafanana neyakajairwa magetsi interface, asi iyo interface mhando yakasiyana.

Sezvo iyo Fiber Channel protocol standard yakakurudzirwa neANSI (American Industrial Standards Protocol), Fiber Channel tekinoroji yakagamuchira kutariswa kwakanyanya kubva kune ese maficha.Nekudzikiswa zvishoma nezvishoma kwemutengo wefiber chiteshi midziyo uye zvishoma nezvishoma kuratidzwa kweiyo yakanyanya kutapurirana mwero, kuvimbika kwepamusoro, uye yakaderera bit kukanganisa mwero wefiber chiteshi tekinoroji, vanhu vari kuramba vachiwedzera kutarisisa kune fiber chiteshi tekinoroji.Fiber Channel tekinoroji yave chikamu chakakosha chekuzadzikiswa kwenzvimbo yekuchengetedza network.Iyo Fiber Channel switch yavewo iyo yakakosha midziyo inoumba iyo SAN network, uye ine chinzvimbo chakakosha nebasa.Fiber Channel switches chikamu chakakosha chenzvimbo yekuchengetera network, uye kuita kwayo kunobata zvakananga kuita kwese chengetedzo nzvimbo network.Fiber Channel tekinoroji ine inochinjika topology, inosanganisira point-to-point topology, switching topology uye ring topology.Pakuvaka network, iyo switching topology ndiyo inonyanya kushandiswa.

Mushure mekunge Fiber Channel switch ichiita serial-to-parallel kutendeuka, 10B / 8B decoding, bit synchronization uye izwi synchronization uye mamwe mavhisi pane yakagamuchirwa serial yakakwirira-kumhanya data data, inogadza chinongedzo nesevha uye yekuchengetedza mudziyo yakabatana nayo, uye mushure mekugamuchira iyo data Mushure mekutarisa tafura yekutumira, itumire kubva pachiteshi chinoenderana kuenda kune inoenderana mudziyo.Kufanana neEthernet data frame, iyo data frame yeFiber Channel device inewo yakagadziriswa furemu fomati uye yayo proprietary yakarongedzerwa seti yekuenderana.Zvinoenderana nemhando dzakasiyana dzesevhisi, Fiber Channel switch zvakare ine inoenderana-kusvika-kumagumo kana buffer-kune-buffer kuyerera kuyerera nzira.Pamusoro pezvo, iyo Fiber Channel switch inopawo masevhisi uye manejimendi akadai sezita rezita, nguva uye alias sevhisi, uye manejimendi sevhisi.
