Hello,
Can one PHY channel (TX_P, TX_N, RX_P, RX_N) be shared by 2 connectors ?
Thanks.

Hi Pavel,
Shared by 2 connectors as in the same signal being fanned out to two connectors?
If so, what is the use case for this?

Hi Alvaro,
Thanks. I misunderstood customer.
Actually it's not at the same time ... either one, either another.
Does TI portfolio have a demultiplexer matching this issue?
Sincerely,
Pavel.
Hi Pavel,
Could you provide a Block Diagram?
Two connections cannot be done at the same time, only 1 connector can be connected to PHY at a time. A place holder on another location on the board could be disconnected by a 0 Ohm resistor, but would need to be manually switched.

Alvaro
