Aeluros Inc is a fabless semiconductor company developing integrated circuits for wireline communications - specifically for Ethernet operating at 10 Gigabits per second. The company was founded in 2001 ^[1], and produces physical layer ICs used in 10GE line cards and optical modules (such as XENPAK, SFP, XFP).

The company is the first to produce a XAUI transceiver dissipating less than 1 Watt of power, ^{[2] [3]} a transceiver that can drive directly a 10 Gbit/s VCSEL, ^[4] and a transceiver with integrated Electronic Dispersion Compensation for 10GE using Multi-mode optical fiber. ^[5]

The company was acquired by NetLogic Microsystems in October 2007 in a deal exceeding $70M.^[6]
