context_page_description: The Fibre Channel electrical interface is one of two related standards that can be used to physically interconnect computer devices. The other standard is a Fibre Channel optical interface, which is not covered in this article.
context_section_description: Optional pins 2, 4, 5, and 7 are intended for use with an external optical converter.  This is often called a Media Interface Assembly (MIA).
