The present invention provides an apparatus and method for preserving a frame sequence and distributing traffic in a multi-channel link, which efficiently distributes frame traffic while preserving the transmission sequence of frames in a link composed of multiple channels, and to a multi-channel transmitter using the apparatus and method. The present invention determines whether the preservation of a sequence of frames is required using information about received frames, predicts a frame transmission service finish time on the basis of the length of frames if the sequence preservation is required, determines a sequence preservation service time (SPST) on the basis of the predicted transmission service finish time, stores the frames in a sequence preservation buffer for the SPST, and distributes the frames to idle transmitters at a termination point of the SPST, thus maximizing the efficiency of channel use.
