Not quite. The cap is more or less transparent to waves, so its location isn't
critical. The bias resistors should be line-impedance and close to the receiver.
The driver termination, on the other hand, can NOT be at the far end of the
line due to the caps, so if you have a high-impedance (current-mode) driver
it's best to place the driver termination close to the driver and keep the source
impedance close to line impedance.
