High-speed interfaces like TX and RX lines for SFP connectors, PCIe lanes, and Media Independent Interface (MII) routing use AC coupling capacitors between drive and receive components. AC coupling capacitors perform a simple function: they remove DC bias from a differential signal so that the differential voltage sensed at the receiver is within a certain range.
