We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "XPAK",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release FTTx helps drive transmission module market from
CIR, which we summarised at the time by saying "The market for telecomms and datacomms transmission modules is predicted to reach US $13.4 billion by 2012".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Transceivers bring copper up to speed from
Analogix Semiconductor: "Analogix Semiconductor has introduced a new family of physical-layer transceiver ICs that lets system designers replace fibre optics with less expensive copper media in system-to-system interconnects".
In October 2003, we covered the news from Intel Corporation
concerning its TXN17209
- take a look at Transceiver provides 10Gbit/s connectivity
which says: "QLogic Corp has chosen the Intel TXN17209 multimode XPAK optical transceiver to provide 10Gbit/s connectivity for the QLogic SANbox 5200, the storage industry's first Fibre Channel stackable switch".
Take a look also at the news release from Molex UK, Reliable connection for storage equipment,
as well as PHY devices accelerate 10 Gigabit technology from Marvell,
and More bandwidth for optical interfaces from SiGe Semiconductor.
