Optical SAS cables are designed to provide greater flexibility in configurations of storage controllers and associated disk shelves. Optical SAS cables can also be used in place of FibreBridge 6500N devices in Stretch MetroCluster configurations. In stretch MetroCluster configurations optical SAS cables can be used in place of FibreBridge devices.
