10GBASE-ER
December 18, 2010
10GBASE-ER ("extended reach") uses the IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 64B/66B Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and 1550 nm lasers. It delivers serialized data over single-mode fiber at a line rate of 10.3125 Gbit/s.
10GBASE-ER has a reach of 40 kilometres (25 mi).
10GBASE-ZR
December 18, 2010
Several manufacturers have introduced 80 km (50 mi) range ER pluggable interfaces under the name 10GBASE-ZR. This 80 km PHY is not specified within the IEEE 802.3ae standard and manufacturers have created their own specifications based upon the 80 km PHY described in the OC-192/STM-64 SDH/SONET specifications.
The 802.3 standard will not be amended to cover the ZR PHY.
10GBASE-LRM
December 11, 201010GBASE-LRM, (Long Reach Multimode), also known as 802.3aq, uses the IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 64B/66B Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and 1310 nm lasers. It delivers serialized data over multi-mode fiber at a line rate of 10.3125 Gbit/s.
