8B/10B encoding

[Data Communication] An algorithm for encoding data for transmission in which each eight-bit data byte is converted to a 10-bit transmission character.

8B/10B encoding is used in transmitting data on Fibre Channel, ESCON, Gigabit Ethernet, and Serial Attached SCSI. It supports continuous transmission with a balanced number of ones and zeros in the code stream and detects single bit transmission errors.
