Performance
The QLogic 5800V Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel 
service at transmission rates of 1, 2, 4, 8,10, or 20Gbps with a maximum frame 
size of 2148 bytes. Each Fibre Channel port adapts its transmission speed to 
match that of the device to which it is connected prior to login, when the 
connected device powers up. Related performance characteristics include the 
following:
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 adapter. Each SFP port is supported by a data buffer 
with a 16-credit capacity; that is, 16 maximum-sized frames. 
 lists the 
approximate transmission distances at full bandwidth over fiber optic cables:
With Enterprise Fabric Suite, longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth 
on SFP 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, 
SFP ports can borrow only from other SFP ports. XPAK ports cannot borrow or 
donate credits. The recipient port also loses a credit in the process. For example, 
you can configure an SFP recipient port to borrow 15 credits from one donor port 
for a total of 30 credits (15+15=30).
