Patent attributes
The object is to provide a transceiver module that is capable of performing a high-rate communication, and satisfies the demand at a moderate cost in a case where short distance communication is enough for transmitting or receiving signals. The transceiver module has a Re-timer 11, a control portion 12, a reference clock generating portion 13, a power portion 14 and a CX4 interface 15. The Re-timer 11 is coupled to a transceiver portion (Tx/Rx) 21 through an XAUI (10 Gigabit Media Independent Interface) interface 22, and is coupled to other component that is coupled to one end of a cable 150 for balanced transmission through the CX4 (10GBASE-CX4) interface 15.
