Overview
The OFC system is an open fiber link detection and laser control system specified in ANSI XT311 Fibre Channel physical standard. It is used as a safety interlock for point-to-point optical fiber links that use semiconductor laser diodes as the optical source. The major reason for implementing OFC is that the optical power levels required to obtain the desired level of system performance in Fibre Channel exceeds the Class 1 limits defined by national and international laser safety standards, if the optical fiber link between two optical ports is disconnected, such as would occur with an opened connector or a cut fiber. It is extremely important that requirements for Class 1 classification are met, due to the potential for customer exposure to laser radiation. Since it is only when an optical link is opened that a user can be exposed to laser radiation, implementing OFC allows Class 1 classification requirements to be met, since it can detect when the link has been disrupted and can shut down the laser or reduce the optical power level. The S2036 complies fully with the OFC specifications and Class 1 requirements. Refer to the ANSI Fibre Channel stand a r d d o c u m e n t f o r d e ta i l s o f O F C operation.
