Not sure how applicable it is, but the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) protocol tops out at only 16Mbps.

  False. >GigaIR: 512 Mbit/s – 1 Gbit/s, NRZI, 2-ASK, 4-ASK, 8b/10b https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Data_Association https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Data_Association

    OK, I wasn't aware of these newer specs, it certainly used to be much more limited.

    GigaIR seems to be vapourware from 2008 that died since.

  That's like asking the GoKart association how fast you can take a Formula 1 car ;) IrDA has its uses but it seems they don't deal with fiber comms.

  It's not applicable. 40Gbps over fiber is ordinary. 40Gbps per wavelength, not per fiber. Many times 40Gbps over one fiber.

    Who does 40Gbps per wavelength? 10/25/50/100 are the common rates in real-world Ethernet PHY standards.

      Telecom uses 40G.
