I assume you're actually talking about a differential
pair LVDS signal.  
IEEE 1394/Firewire uses multiple pairs of LVDS signals at those kinds of
rates.
SATA (Serial ATA) uses a 7 pin connector to carry a pair of LVDS signals:
Gnd, pair A, gnd, pair B, gnd.
We use 9 pin Micro-D connectors for 100 Mbps+ SpaceWire signals (4 LVDS
pairs). But, they're fragile and expensive.
A good quality 100 Mbps ethernet jack and cat5 cable can also do
it.

The real key is in board layout behind the connector.
