Distance

Consider the physical distribution of devices and switches in the fabric. Choose 
SFP transceivers that are compatible with the cable type, distance, Fibre Channel 
revision level, and the device host bus adapter. Refer to 

Appendix A

 for more 

information about cable types and transceivers.

Each Fibre Channel port is supported by a data buffer with a 16 credit capacity; 
that is, 16 maximum sized frames. For fibre optic cables, this enables full 
bandwidth over the following approximate distances:

„

26 kilometers at 1-Gbps (0.6 credits/Km)

„

13 kilometers at 2-Gbps (1.2 credits/Km)

„

6 kilometers at 4-Gbps (2.4 credits/km)

Longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth on 1/2/4-Gbps ports by 
extending credits to G_Ports, F_Ports, and E_Ports. Each port can donate 15 
credits to a pool from which a recipient port can borrow. However, 1/2/4-Gbps 
ports can borrow only from other 1/2/4-Gbps ports. 10-Gbps ports cannot borrow 
or donate credits. The recipient port also loses a credit in the process. For 
example, you can configure a 1/2/4-Gbps recipient port to borrow 15 credits from 
one donor port for a total of 30 credits (15+15=30).

Regardless of how many credits are borrowed, extending credits requires a 
minimum cable length that is dependent on transmission speed. Extending credits 
over short cables can result in excessive port resets. 

Table 3-2

 describes the 

distances that are possible for a port with 30 credits and the minimum cable 
lengths.

You can configure recipient and donor ports using the Set Config Port CLI 
command.
