En principe, l'acronyme «FXS» devrait être féminin. Cependant, dans les ouvrages consultés, cet acronyme est souvent associé au termes «module», «port» ou «modèle» qui sont masculins. Par conséquent, l'acronyme «FXS» est donc considéré comme étant du genre masculin. 3, record 1, French, - interface%20FXS
