</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(&#147;Section&nbsp;145&#148;), the Registrant&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that
the directors will not be liable to the Registrant or to any Stockholder for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the full extent
that such limitation or elimination of liability is permitted under Delaware
law.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also as permitted by Section&nbsp;145, the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provide that the
Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent
permitted under Delaware law. Pursuant to the Bylaws and Section&nbsp;145, the
Registrant will indemnify each director and officer against any liability
incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in
which he may be involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request
of the Registrant.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each director and officer is also entitled to indemnification against
costs and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in defending or
investigating any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which he may be
involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request of the
Registrant. The Bylaws and indemnity agreements entered into between the
Registrant and each of its directors require the Registrant to advance funds to
a director or officer for such costs and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
upon receipt of an undertaking in writing by such director or officer to repay
such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the
Registrant if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is
not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel, that based upon the facts known to the
Board or counsel at the time such determination is made: (i)&nbsp;the director or
officer acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his duty to the Registrant
or its stockholders; and (ii)&nbsp;as a result of such actions by the director or
officer, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that
such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Bylaws and
any indemnity agreements are not exclusive of any other rights to which a
director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under the Bylaws, indemnity agreements, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by the Bylaws and the indemnity agreements continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has purchased a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance policy insuring directors and officers of the Registrant against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under the Bylaws or any indemnity agreement.

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement;
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered, which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
All information required by Part I to be contained in the prospectus is
omitted from this Registration Statement on Form S-8 in accordance with Rule
428 under the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 registers shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock, including the attached preferred
stock purchase rights issuable pursuant to the Registrant's existing
Rights Agreement dated January 19, 1989, as amended, which may be issued in connection with, or in respect
of, stock options, stock equivalent rights and rights to acquire shares
(collectively, the "Vixel Options") of the common stock, par value $.0015 per
share (the "Vixel Stock"), of Vixel Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Vixel"), outstanding pursuant to Vixel's Amended and Restated 1995 Stock
Option Plan, 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and 2000 Non-Officer Equity
Incentive Plan.
The Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 8, 2003 (the "Merger
Agreement"), among the Registrant, Aviary Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merger Sub") and
Vixel, provides that, at the effective time ("Effective Time") of the merger of
Merger Sub with and into Vixel, each Vixel Option shall be assumed by the
Registrant and converted into an option to acquire, on substantially the same
terms and conditions as were applicable under such Vixel Option, the number of
whole shares of Registrant's Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Vixel Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Vixel Option immediately
prior to the Effective Time multiplied by an exchange ratio of
0.363266492, with
any fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from such calculation being
rounded to the nearest whole number, at a per share exercise price equal to the
exercise price per share of Vixel Stock at which such Vixel Option was
exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by such exchange
ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents are incorporated by this reference into this Registration Statement:
(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended

(c) The

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
("Section 145"), the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that
the directors will not be liable to the Registrant or to any Stockholder for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the full extent
that such limitation or elimination of liability is permitted under Delaware
law.
Also as permitted by Section 145, the Registrant's Bylaws provide that the
Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent
permitted under Delaware law. Pursuant to the Bylaws and Section 145, the
Registrant will indemnify each director and officer against any liability
incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in
which he may be involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request
of the Registrant.
Each director and officer is also entitled to indemnification against
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending or
investigating any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which he may be
involved by reason of serving in such capacity at the request of the
Registrant. The Bylaws and indemnity agreements entered into between the
Registrant and each of its directors require the Registrant to advance funds to
a director or officer for such costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
upon receipt of an undertaking in writing by such director or officer to repay
such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
be indemnified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the
Registrant if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is
not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel, that based upon the facts known to the
Board or counsel at the time such determination is made: (i) the director or
officer acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his duty to the Registrant
or its stockholders; and (ii) as a result of such actions by the director or
officer, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that
such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Bylaws and
any indemnity agreements are not exclusive of any other rights to which a
director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under the Bylaws, indemnity agreements, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by the Bylaws and the indemnity agreements continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
The Registrant has purchased a directors' and officers' liability
insurance policy insuring directors and officers of the Registrant against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such
person against such liability under the Bylaws or any indemnity agreement.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
Table of Contents
The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Index to
Exhibits which is incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered, which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
