Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for detecting and using a cable length value recorded on a cable. In embodiments, the length information may be encoded onto an NFC tag that is located at or near the end of the cable such that, when the cable is inserted into a port, an NFC reader may read the cable length value. In embodiments, the detected cable length value may be used in determining a buffer-to-buffer credit for a channel connection formed between two devices using that cable. Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for making the cables or information handling devices that can detect the recorded values.
