3. Purpose
To implement Gigabit Ethernet at an affordable price for the general consumer

4. General Overview
The opto-electronic module from the Gigabit Ethernet card was isolated and mounted on an external evaluation board to test its performance in data transmission.

5. Test Setup for Gigabit Ethernet

6. Interpretation of the Eye Pattern

7. Experiment Result (PN-7 Encoding with 10ft. Cable)

8. Experiment Result (PN-7 Encoding with 100ft. Cable)

9. Bit Error Rate
The bit error rate (BER) is the percentage of bits that have errors relative to the total number of bits received in a transmission

10. Inferences Eye Pattern Results BER Results
It can be inferred that the evaluation board can perform data transfer at Gigabit Ethernet speed with acceptable performance.

11. Project Pending
Interfacing the evaluation board to the Gigabit Ethernet card to verify transmission performance with actual real-time data

12. Circuit Setup

13. Possible Challenges Impedance Matching on Ethernet Board
Soldering Concerns
