The TLK3132 is a flexible two channel independently configurable serial transceiver. It can be configured to be compliant with the 1000Base-X 1Gbps Ethernet Specification (Auto-Negotiation not supported). The TLK3132 provides high-speed bi-directional point-to-point data transmissions with up to 15 Gbps of raw data transmission capacity. The primary application of this device is in backplanes and front panel connections requiring 3.75Gbps connections over controlled impedance media of approximately 50. The transmission media can be printed circuit board (PCB) traces, copper cables or fiber-optical media. The ultimate rate and distance of data transfer is dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of the media and the noise coupling into the lines.
