2 Gbs Single-Drive "T-Card" Adapter
w/ "Loop Resiliency" Circuit (SCA40-to-PTP Adapter)
Ideal for single-drive FC subsystems, or bench-top testing of FC-AL drives. This "T-Card" is dual-ported and has Loop Resiliency Circuitry for full arbitrated loop operation. Will operate @ 2Gb/s, and is backwards-compatible to 1Gb/s subsystems. Take advantage of the flexibility of this adapter for implementation of "one drive only" or "one drive at a time", and eliminate the need for a Fibre Channel ONLY enclosure.
