Only one system will have write access to a particular volume at any one point in time. All other systems can have read access, or no access at all. Privileges can be easily modified when desired. Accelware also acts to continuously update the meta data on each computer for all of the storage so that every system will always know exactly what data is out there. An active cable is required for cable distances greater than 15 meters.
Optical cables use SC or duplex SC connectors.
Multi mode should only be used with short wave laser transceivers while single mode cables are meant to be used with long wave laser devices. The fibers in multi mode cable come in either a 62.5 micron thickness, which is good for distances up to 175 meters, or a 50 micron thickness, good for 500 meters. OFC optics uses a high powered laser that is controlled with a handshake to protect users from eye damage. Non-OFC optics uses a lower powered laser that is safer to the eye. The MIAs that we are selling are OFC with the built in safety precautions.
