If creating a cap for an extended period the transaction can be structured into a series of "caplets", each caplet being for a set period coinciding with the interest periods of the borrowing being hedged eg 3 month LIBOR.

| In contrast, sender net debit caps, which may for example be set by the governing body of the clearing system based on a particular formula, limit the aggregate value of transfers that an individual participant may send to all other participants over and above its incoming transfers.
