Abstract
A rework re-timer with forward error correction handling is disclosed. An example first intermediate transceiver includes a first interface to communicatively couple the first intermediate transceiver with a first computing device, a second interface to communicatively couple the first intermediate transceiver to a second intermediate transceiver configured to be communicatively coupled with a second computing device, an auto-negotiation controller to: terminate a first auto-negotiation with the first computing device before the first auto-negotiation is completed, transmit, to the second transceiver, first capabilities of the first computing device determined during the first auto-negotiation, and perform a second auto-negotiation with the first computing device utilizing the first capabilities of the first computing device and second capabilities of the second computing device received from the second transceiver.
