Abstract

The 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) is emerging as an alternative for solving the bottleneck of wide area network (WAN) links. Currently, the choice of line codes is being an issue in the 10GbE standardization. We review the candidates for the 10GbE line code, and propose a new line code, MB810, for 10GbE. Its spectrum is bounded within the Nyquist band and has no DC component. This code can improve the transmission rate-distance limitation of the optical fiber. We describe the design concept of the MB810 and its design procedure, and compare its characteristics with the NRZ and 8B/10B codes
