GBIC Multi-Source Agreement: This document “provides a common specification for systems manufacturers, system integrators, and suppliers of pluggable Gigabit Interface Converter

SFF Multi-Source Agreement: This document establishes “internationally compatible sources of a fiber optic transceiver module in support of standards for fiber optic systems including Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), FDDI, Fibre Channel, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) applications.”

SFP Multi-Source Agreement: This document establishes “internationally compatible sources of a pluggable fiber optic transceiver module in support of standards for fiber optic systems including Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), FDDI, Fibre Channel, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) / Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) applications.”

SFF Multi-Source Committee: The SFF Committee was formed to address the storage industry specifications requirements. It covers many aspects of fixed and removeable storage, including optics. It is listed online. The digital diagnostics specifications (SFF-9472) and (SFF-8472) in COTSWORKS’ SFF and SFP transceiver products can be found online and at the right. A guide of all media types (SFF-8089) is also listed.

DWDM Pluggable Transceiver MSA: This document “establishes a standard that specifies uniformity for DWDM transceiver package outlines, pin function definitions, optical interface, electrical interfaces and characteristics.”

XENPAK/X2 MSA: “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.” Information can be found line at: http://www.xenpak.org/

XFP MSA: “The goal of the XFP MSA Group is to create a specification for a module, cage hardware, and IC interfaces for a 10 Gbit hot pluggable module converting serial electrical signals to external serial optical or electrical signals.” Information can be found line at: http://www.xfpmsa.org/cgi-bin/msa.cgi
