 All, 
After hours, I showed some members of the 
HSSG a little known Pluggable MSA form-factor which is well-suited to be applied 
to HS-Ethernet.  (see attached) 
It is approximately the size of a Xenpak 
module but supports up to 12 electrical diff. pairs for TX plus 12 electrical 
diff. pairs for RX and can support up to 2 MPO connectors (although could 
equally support 2 LC connectors for 2 fiber interfaces). 
It is a public document from which I have 
extracted diagrams from page 10 for the electrical connector pinout, 
which will support 10G per lane, and page 41 for the module perspective 
view. 
With proper consideration for system 
cooling and sufficient allocation of power supply pins, this module could 
support 10W of cooling (same as Xenpak) or possibly a bit more ~12-14W.  I 
am not suggesting whether we such power dissipation level are necessary, 
sufficient, or excessive. 
I could not send the entire document as it 
exceed the reflector size limits.
