Abstract
A network re-timer with forward error correction handling is disclosed. An example network re-timer includes a first receiver to receive data from a first connected device and to re-time the data to generate re-timed data, a first transmitter to transmit the re-timed data to a second connected device, a first auto-negotiation handler communicatively coupled to the first receiver to control a first forward error correction mode for communications with the first connected device, and a second auto-negotiation handler communicatively coupled to the first transmitter to control a second forward error correction mode for communications with the second connected device, wherein the first forward error correction mode is different than the second forward error correction mode.
