First generation FC interface
The 1st Generation Brocade Fibre Channel switches (1 Gbps) were introduced in the late 1990s and laid the foundation for SAN environments. Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed data transfer protocol providing in-order, lossless delivery of raw block data. Over the last four decades, these connectors have continuously evolved—becoming smaller, smarter, and more efficient to meet the demands of cloud computing, hyperscale data centers, AI clusters, and ultrafast networks. FC SANs offer a range of benefits such as improved backup and restore, enhanced business continuance, and simplified onsolidation. INCITS/Fibre Channel Interconnection Schemes is the Task Group within the INCITS/Fibre Channel Technical Committee responsible for all FC projects which define Fibre Channel encoding and protocols.
