XFP MSA Specification
The 10-Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA (Multi Source Agreement) is a specification for
a common interface for optical modular transceivers. The XFP connector consists of a 30-pin receptacle
and an XFP housing cage. The connector provides the interface for the hot pluggable XFP module. Each
XFP module contains a serial interface to provide identification information that describes the XFP capa-
bilities, standard interfaces, manufacturer and other information.
For information on installing XFPs, refer to the documentation included with the transceiver.

Eye Safety
XFP transceivers are international Class 1 laser products and are eye-safe devices when operated within
the limits of manufacturers’ specifications. Operating XFP transceivers in a manner inconsistent with
intended usage and specification may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
