Fiber Channel

Also known as an FC. A high-performance serial link that supports its own protocol, as well as higher-level protocols such as the FDDI, SCSI, HIPPI, and IPI. This fast (up to 1 gigabit per second) technology can be converted for Local Area Network (LAN) technology by adding a switch, specified in the FC standard, that handles multipoint addressing.
