IEEE 802.3ak standard that transmits over 4-lanes in each direction over copper cabling similar to the variety used in InfiniBand technology. It is designed to work up to a distance of 15m (49 ft).

10GBASE extended range 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. 10GBASE-ER has a reach of 40 kilometers (25 miles).

IEEE 802.3ap that is used in backplane applications such as blade servers and routers/switches with upgradable line cards. 10GBASE-KR uses the same coding (defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 49) as 10GBASE-LR/ER/SR. See 10GBASE-KX4.

An IEEE 802.3ap-compliant specification that operates in an environment comprising up to 1 meter (39 in) of copper printed circuit board with two connectors. The standard provides for two different implementations at 10 Gbps: 10GBASE-KX4 and 10GBASE-KR. 10GBASE-KX4 uses the same physical layer coding (defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 48) as 10GBASE-CX4.

10GBASE long range uses the IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 64B/66B Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and 1310 nm lasers. It delivers serialized data over single-mode fiber at a line rate of 10.3125.

Long Reach Multimode, also known as IEEE 802.3aq[8], supports distances up to 220 metres (720 ft) on FDDI-grade 62.5 µm multimode fibre (using 1310 nm) and 100BASE-FX networks and 260 metres (850 ft) on OM3.

Uses coarse WDM to support ranges of between 240 metres (790 ft) and 300 metres (980 ft) over legacy multimode cabling. This standard also supports 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) over SMF.

Classification of optical fiber using the Clause 49 protocol.

10GBASE short range uses IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 64B/66B encoding and 850 nm lasers

A standard by the IEEE 802.3 committee to provide 10 Gbps connections over conventional unshielded or shielded twisted pair cables.

10GBASE-SW, 10GBASE-LW, 10GBASE-EW, and 10GBASE-ZW are varieties that use the WAN PHY, which are designed to interoperate with OC-192/STM-64 SDH/SONET equipment using a light-weight SDH/SONET frame running at 9.953 Gbps.

An 80 km PHY not specified within the IEEE 802.3ae standard. Manufacturers have created proprietary specifications based upon the 80 km PHY described in the OC-192/STM-64 SDH/SONET specifications.
