According to a sun engineer you can't (1) use a monomode cable between
a host and the array and you can't (2) enlarge the distance over 2 km.
(1) The time the signal runs (especially between ENQ/ACKN) lasts much
to long with the optical converter you need between nonomode and
multimode cables.
(2) For multimode connections the limit is 2 km of distance.
Fortunately we have been reported that the accurate distance between
the buildings is 1.88 km.

My original question was:
Hi,
we purchased a Sparc Storage array 102 with 2 FC-Interfaces. Now we
would like to install this SSA102 in a remote building
and connect it with a monomode fibre optical cable to a server here
(about 4 kilometers).
According to the references of SUN the maximum distance between host
and array
is 2 kilometers with gradient fibre optical cable.
Does anyone have experience in connecting a Sparc Storage Array to a
host
over a distance larger than 2 kilometers? Thanks for the help
