Home / PCs with fiber optic interfaces can be converted to FC interfaces

The Fibre Channel physical layer is based on serial connections that use fiber optics to copper between corresponding pluggable modules. When the technology was originally devised, it ran over optical fiber cables only and, as such, was called "Fiber Channel".
