An apparatus is disclosed that includes first transceiver circuitry adapted for transmitting and receiving Ethernet data over a network using a first Ethernet communication protocol at a first data rate, second transceiver circuitry adapted for transmitting and receiving Ethernet data over a network using a second Ethernet communication protocol at a second data rate; and third transceiver circuitry adapted for transmitting and receiving Ethernet data over a network using a third Ethernet communication protocol at a third data rate.

Multi-rate backplane transceiver

Embodiments include a system for performing dispersion compensation on an electromagnetic signal received over a communication channel, the electromagnetic signal bearing information at a symbol rate. An interleaved analog to digital converter ('ADC') block may be used, wherein the interleaved ADC block may be configured to generate a plurality of digitally sampled signals from the electromagnetic signal. An interleaved equalizer block may be configured to digitally process each of the digitally sampled signals generated by the ADC block to generate a plurality of digitally equalized signals. A multiplexer may be configured to aggregate the digitally equalized signals into a composite output signal.
