Proposed functionality

In an effort to support improved transceiver modeling, this FR proposes adding the following interface types. Each of these describes a copper or optical media type, typically provided by a pluggable transceiver (i.e. SFP).

10 Gbps Ethernet

10GBase-ER (SMF)
10GBase-LR (SMF)
10GBase-LRM (SMF)
10GBase-SR (MMF)
10GBase-T (copper)
10GBase-ZR (SMF)

25 Gbps Ethernet

25GBase-CR (DAC)
25GBase-ER (SMF)
25GBase-LR (SMF)
25GBase-SR (MMF)
25GBase-T (copper)

40 Gbps Ethernet

40GBase-CR4 (DAC)
40GBase-ER4 (SMF)
40GBase-FR4 (SMF)
40GBase-LR4 (SMF)
40GBase-SR4 (MMF)

50 Gbps Ethernet

50GBase-CR (DAC)
50GBase-ER (SMF)
50GBase-FR (MMF)
50GBase-LR (SMF)
50GBase-SR (MMF)

100 Gbps Ethernet

100GBase-CR1 (DAC)
100GBase-CR2 (DAC)
100GBase-CR4 (DAC)
100GBase-CR10 (DAC)
100GBase-DR (SMF)
100GBase-FR1 (SMF)
100GBase-ER4 (SMF)
100GBase-LR1 (SMF)
100GBase-LR4 (SMF)
100GBase-SR1 (MMF)
100GBase-SR1.2 (MMF)
100GBase-SR2 (MMF)
100GBase-SR4 (MMF)
100GBase-SR10 (MMF)
100GBase-ZR (SMF)

Use case

The introduction of these types will enable accurately modeling interfaces as child components of modules which represent pluggable transceivers.
