The VSC7121 is a Quad Port Bypass Circuit (PBC). Four Fibre Channel PBC’s are cascaded into a single part to minimize part count, cost, high frequency routing, and jitter accumulation. Port Bypass Circuits are used to provide resiliency in Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) architectures. PBC’s are used within FC-AL disk arrays to allow for resiliency and hot swapping of FC-AL drives
