By FCAL do you mean Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop?

Yes - all that Fibre Channel does is implement serial SCSI,
using a protocol called FCP.
Remember that a technology using serial wiring will always
go much further than one using parallel - which is an
advantage of fibre channel in that you can run it around 
your machine room without big thick SCSI cables.
