10 gigabit stuff:
300-pin MSA
300-pin MSA:

compliant to the Multi Source Agreement (MSA) for 10Gb/s 300pin transceiver modules

up to 40 km at a wavelength of 1550 nm

includes a mux and demux unit to transmit 16 electrical channels of 622Mb/s over two optical fibres at 10Gb/s. It can work at 9.95 and 10.3 Gb/s, according to the applications SONET or 10GbE. Different optical connectors are available (LC,SC,FC,MU).
XENPAK MSA
XENPAK MSA:

IEEE 802.3ae 10 GbE MSA
 o Four wide XAUI interface
 o Compliant for all IEEE 802.3ae mediums
 o     + 850 nm Serial
 o     + 1310 nm WWDM, 1310 nm Serial (10 km)
 o     + 1550 nm Serial (40 km)
 o Hot Pluggable
 o SC duplex fiber optic connector
 o Industry standard 70 pin electrical connector

XPAK MSA
XPAK MSA:
XPAK is like “XENPAK”, only shorter.
X2 MSA
X2 MSA:

defines a smaller form-factor 10 Gb/s pluggable fiber optic transceiver optimized for:
 - 802.3ae Ethernet
 - ANSI/ITUT OC192/STM- 64 SONET/SDH interfaces
 - ITUT G.709
 - OIF OC192 VSR
 - INCITS/ANSI 10GFC (10 Gigabit Fibre Channel) and other 10 Gigabit applications.
XFP MSA
XFP MSA:
10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) Multi Source Agreement (MSA)
- OC192/STM-64 9.95 Gb/s
- 10 Gigabit FC 10.5 Gb/s
- G.709 10.7 Gb/s
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet 10.3 Gb/s
- Smaller space and lower cost alternative to parallel-optics VSR
