Xenpak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The XENPAK Multisource Agreement (MSA), instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems, defines a fiber-optic transceiver module which conforms to the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) standard as laid down by the IEEE 802.3ae. The MSA group received input from both transceiver and equipment manufacturers during the definition process.
The MSA was publicly announced on March 12, 2001 and the first revision of the document was publicly released on May 7, 2001. The MSA is now open to any organization to join. The result covers all physical media dependent (PMD) types defined by the IEEE for 802.3ae 10 GbE.
