Other Considerations 

SFP MSA Compliance 

The SFP Multisource Agreement (MSA) is an agreement that was drafted among competing manufacturers of 
SFP optical modules. The SFF Committee was formed to oversee the creation and maintenance of these 
agreements including the SFP MSA designated as INF‐8074i. This agreement describes a mutually agreed upon 
standard for the form and function of SFP modules. However, not all SFPs produced are MSA compliant. The 
MSA provides for a transceiver (TX/RX) pinout. Other industries such as broadcast had the need for dual TX 
and dual RX SFP for uni‐directional applications such as video. Naturally, a non‐MSA standard was introduced 
allocating pinout assignments for dual output and dual input I/O configurations. In addition, the some of the 
internal serial communication pins were reassigned. 

The FOM‐3841/3842 will only accept MSA compliant SFP Modules.
