Fibre Channel Simplex Cable - Which end is RX or TX?

[Akino877]

Hello,

I am new to Fibre Channel and I have a question I wonder if someone could please help.

If I have a Fibre Channel simplex cable, is there a way to tell which end is TX and which end is RX? Or would it work if I use either end for TX or RX?

Thank you so much in advance,

Akino

If the connectors at each end of the cable are the same, you can use them for either.

If they are different, can you find a picture of your cable's ends online and post the link?
