All,
After hours, I showed some members of the
HSSG a little known Pluggable MSA form-factor which is well-suited to be applied
to HS-Ethernet. (see attached)
It is approximately the size of a Xenpak
module but supports up to 12 electrical diff. pairs for TX plus 12 electrical
diff. pairs for RX and can support up to 2 MPO connectors (although could
equally support 2 LC connectors for 2 fiber interfaces).
It is a public document from which I have
extracted diagrams from page 10 for the electrical connector pinout,
which will support 10G per lane, and page 41 for the module perspective
view.
With proper consideration for system
cooling and sufficient allocation of power supply pins, this module could
support 10W of cooling (same as Xenpak) or possibly a bit more ~12-14W. I
am not suggesting whether we such power dissipation level are necessary,
sufficient, or excessive.
I could not send the entire document as it
exceed the reflector size limits.
