Xenpak 10G Transceiver only retain the basic elecro

Compared with the earlier XFP optical transceiver, its appearance size has reduced about, just is the same sized of the ordinary 1-4G SFP optical modules. Xenpak 10G Transceiver only retain the basic elecro-optic photoelectric conversion function, which has reduced the design of the original XFP SerDes, CDR, EDC, MAC, conversion function, thus simplifying the design of 1 0G optical transceiver module, as well as the power consumption. SFP plus optical transceiver has the obvious advantages such as higher-density, lower power consumption and lower system construction cost and other significant features. The MSA group received input from both transceiver and equipment manufacturers during the definition process. Xenpak 10G Transceiver has been replaced by more compact devices providing the same functionality Xenpak 10G Transceiver is a Multisource Agreement (MSA), instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems that defines a fiber-optic or wired transceiver module which conforms to the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) standards of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 working group.
