2.5.3 AC Coupling of 10G_KR_TX Signals
Situation A:
Backplaned system (eg VPXR, CPCI, ..)
Coupling is at receiver, in this case on both modules at receive pair. No coupling on carrier.

Situation B:
Direct attached module-to-module connection.
Coupling is at receiver, in this case on both modules at receive pair. No coupling on carrier.

Situation C:
PHY on Carrier
Only in this situation the coupling is on the Carrier (at PHY). But this situation is not the only primary
function for KR interface (backplane metallic connection).
