Clause 118.)
400GXS: The 400 Gb/s Extender Sublayer (400GXS) is part of the 400GMII Extender. In
functionality, it is almost identical to the 400GBASE-R PCS Sublayer defined in Clause 119. Two types of
400GXS are defined: the DTE 400GXS adjacent to the RS sublayer and the PHY 400GXS adjacent to the
PHY. (See IEEE Std 802.3, Clause 118.)

over four lanes of shielded balanced copper cabling, with reach up to at least 7 m. (See IEEE Std 802.3,
Clause 85.)
40GBASE-ER4: IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification for 40 Gb/s using 40GBASE-R encoding
over four WDM lanes on single-mode fiber, with reach up to at least 40 km. (See IEEE Std 802.3,
Clause 87.)
40GBASE-FR: IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification for 40 Gb/s serial transmission using
40GBASE-R encoding over one wavelength on single-mode fiber, with reach up to at least 2 km (See IEEE
Std 802.3, Clause 89.)

119 40GBASE-LR4: IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification for 40 Gb/s using 40GBASE-R encoding
over four WDM lanes on single-mode fiber, with reach up to at least 10 km. (See IEEE Std 802.3,
Clause 87.)
40GBASE-R: An IEEE 802.3 family of Physical Layer devices using 40GBASE-R encoding. (See
IEEE Std 802.3, Clause 80.)
121 40GBASE-R encoding: The physical coding sublayer encoding defined in Clause 82 for 40 Gb/s
operation. (See IEEE Std 802.3, Clause 82.)
40GBASE-SR4: IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification for 40 Gb/s using 40GBASE-R encoding
over four lanes of multimode fiber, with reach up to at least 100 m. (See IEEE Std 802.3, Clause 86.)
40GBASE-T: IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification for a 40 Gb/s LAN using four pairs of
ANSI/TIA Category 8, ISO/IEC Class I, or ISO/IEC Class II balanced copper cabling. (See IEEE Std 802.3,
Clause 113.)
40 Gb/s Attachment Unit Interface (XLAUI): A physical instantiation of the PMA service
interface to extend the connection between 40 Gb/s capable PMAs, used for chip-to-chip or chip-to-module
interconnections. (See IEEE Std 802.3, Annex 83A and Annex 83B.)
40 Gb/s Media Independent Interface (XLGMII): The interface between the Reconciliation
Sublayer (RS) and the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) for 40 Gb/s operation. (See IEEE Std 802.3,
Clause 81.)
40 Gb/s Parallel Physical Interface (XLPPI): The interface between the Physical Medium
Attachment (PMA) sublayer and the Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer for 40GBASE-SR4 and
40GBASE-LR4 PHYs. (See IEEE Std 802.3, Annex 86A.)
