Channel options
This appendix describes all of the channel attributes, required cable types, maximum unrepeated distance, and bit rate for z14 ZR1. The features that are hosted in the PCIe drawer for Cryptography and Compression are also listed.
For all optical links, the connector type is LC Duplex, except for the zHyperLink, the 12xIFB, and the ICA SR connections, which are established with multifiber push-on (MPO) connectors.
The MPO connector of the zHyperLink and the ICA connection feature two rows of 12 fibers and are interchangeable. The electrical Ethernet cable for the Open Systems Adapter (OSA) connectivity is connected through an RJ45 jack.
The attributes of the channel options that are supported on z14 ZR1 are listed in Table B-1.

1 The link data rate does not represent the actual performance of the link. The actual performance depends on many factors, including latency through the adapters, cable lengths, and the type of workload.
2 Where applicable, the minimum fiber bandwidth distance in MHz-km for multi-mode fiber optic links is included in parentheses.
3 A 600 meters maximum when sharing the switch across 2 RoCE Express features.
The maximum unrepeated distances for FICON short wavelength (SX) features are listed in Table B-2.
