Nope, thats FC-AL (or at least, one definition of it). Theses cards, which are techincally called a "S-bus fibre channel host adaptor" (or something like that), are used for connecting to a SunStorage Array (SSA), and use the same FCOM's (GBIC equivalent) as on the I/O board on an E3000/E4000/etc. They do 25MB/sec, and pre-date FC-AL by at least a few years.
