    This document outlines the common optical interfaces used in Ethernet systems over time. It shows the evolution from early 10 Mbps interfaces like 10Base-FL that connected directly to silicon devices to modern 100 Gbps interfaces that use pluggable optical modules like CFP to connect physical layer devices to silicon circuitry. The physical layer is divided into sublayers for media access control, physical coding, and optical transmission to support a wide range of interface standards up to 100 Gbps and beyond.
