I am using below serializer and de serializer in my design. The communication is happening via FPD LINK.

The block diagram is given below.

enter image description here

I have a CAN bus connected between the these two boards.

My question is it possible to send CAN BUS information using FPD link ?.

If it is possible means I can reduce one connector in my board

You can't pass a CAN bus through those chips. You can use a custom connector with both FPD-Link 3 and CAN bus. Or since the chips allow for I2C bus which is bi-directional, you could use a CAN bus controller with I2C bus. Or just use I2C if you can do without CAN.
