IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus develop-
ment process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied
viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve with-
out compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus devel-
opment process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in
its standards.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEEE disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or other dam-
age, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting
from the publication, use of, or reliance upon this, or any other IEEE Standard document.
The IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained herein, and expressly disclaims any
express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a specific purpose, or that the
use of the material contained herein is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards documents are supplied “AS IS.”
The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market,
or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the
time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revi-
sion or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude
that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check
to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
In publishing and making this document available, the IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other services for,
or on behalf of, any person or entity. Nor is the IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any other person or entity to
another. Any person utilizing this, and any other IEEE Standards document, should rely upon the advice of a competent pro-
fessional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to specific ap-
plications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare
appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any
interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its soci-
eties and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration. At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational
courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views should be considered
the personal views of that individual rather than the formal position, explanation, or interpretation of the IEEE. Current inter-
pretations can be accessed at the following URL: http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/interp/index.html.
Errata, if any, for this and all other standards can be accessed at the following URL: http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/
updates/errata/index.html. Users are encouraged to check this URL for errata periodically.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with
IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate
supporting comments. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

Introduction to IEEE Std 802.3ak-2004
(This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 802.3ak-2004, IEEE Standard for Information
technology— Telecommunications and information exchange between systems—Local and
metropolitan area networks—Specific requirements CSMA/CD Access Method and Physical
Layer Specifications Amendment: Physical Layer and Management Parameters for 10Gb/s Oper-
ation, Type 10GBASE-CX4.)
™
IEEE Std 802.3 was first published in 1985. Since the initial publication, many projects have added func-
tionality or provided maintenance updates to the specifications and text included in the standard. Each IEEE
™
802.3 project/amendment is identified with a suffix (e.g., IEEE Std 802.3ae ). A historical listing of all
projects that have added to or modified IEEE Std 802.3 follows as a part of this introductory material. The
listing is in chronological order of project initiation and for each project describes: subject, clauses added (if
any), approval dates, and committee officers.
The media access control (MAC) protocol specified in IEEE Std 802.3 is Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). This MAC protocol was included in the experimental Ethernet developed
at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. While the experimental Ethernet had a 2.94 Mb/s data rate, IEEE Std
802.3-1985 specified operation at 10 Mb/s. Since 1985 new media options, new speeds of operation, and
new protocol capabilities have been added to IEEE Std 802.3.
Some of the major additions to IEEE Std 802.3 are identified with their project number. This is most com-
™
mon for projects adding higher speeds of operation or new protocols. For example, IEEE Std 802.3u added
™
100 Mb/s operation (also called Fast Ethernet), IEEE Std 802.3x specified full duplex operation and a flow
™
control protocol, IEEE Std 802.3z added 1000 Mb/s operation (also called Gigabit Ethernet) and IEEE Std
802.3ad specified link aggregation. These major additions are all now included in IEEE Std 802.3-2002 and
are not available as separate documents.
™
Recent additions such as IEEE Std 802.3ae (also called 10 Gigabit Ethernet) and IEEE Std 802.3af (also
called Power over Ethernet) are currently published as separate documents. These recent amendments are
part of IEEE Std 802.3 and they are dependent on and reference information published in IEEE Std 802.3-
2002.
At the date of IEEE Std 802.3ak publication, IEEE Std 802.3 is comprised of the following documents:
IEEE Std 802.3-2002
Section One—Includes Clause 1 through Clause 20 and Annexes A through H. Section One includes the
specifications for 10 Mb/s operation and the MAC, frame formats and service interfaces used for all
speeds of operation.
Section Two—Includes Clause 21 through Clause32 and Annexes 22A through 32A. Section Two
includes the specifications for 100 Mb/s operation and management attributes for multiple protocols and
operational speeds.
Section Three—Includes Clause 34 through Clause 43 and Annexes 36A through 43C. Section Three
includes the specifications for 1000 Mb/s operation.
IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002
Includes changes to IEEE Std 802.3-2002, and adds Clauses 44 through 53 and Annexes 44A through
50A. This amendment includes specifications for 10 Gb/s operation.
IEEE Std 802.3af-2003
Includes changes to IEEE Std 802.3-2002, and adds Clause 33 and Annexes 33A through 33E. This
amendment includes specifications for the provision of power over 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T cabling.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
™
IEEE Std 802.3aj -2003
Includes changes to IEEE Std 802.3-2002 and IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002.
IEEE Std 802.3ak-2004
Includes changes to IEEE Std 802.3-2002, and IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002, and adds Clause 54. This
amendment adds 10GBASE-CX4 specifications for 10 Gb/s operation over balanced shielded cabling.
IEEE 802.3 will continue to evolve. Revisions are anticipated to the above standards within the next few
years to integrate approved changes into IEEE 802.3, to clarify existing material, to correct possible errors,
and to incorporate new related material.
Conformance test methodology
™
An additional standard, IEEE Std 1802.3 provides conformance test information for 10BASE-T.
IEEE Std 802.3ak-2004
IEEE Std 802.3ak-2004, Physical Layer and Management Parameters for 10Gb/s Operation, Type
10GBASE-CX4 is an amendment to IEEE Std 802.3. It includes changes to both IEEE Std 802.3-2002 and
IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002. In a few cases, text published in IEEE Std 802.3-2002 is modified by IEEE Std
802.3ae-2002 and is subsequently modified by IEEE Std 802.3ak-2004. IEEE Std 802.3ak-2004 does not
include any modifications to the text of IEEE Std 802.3af-2003 and IEEE Std 802.3aj-2003.
