    When transmitting data, 8B/10B encoding refers to the algorithm for encoding the data for transmission where each eight-bit data byte is converted to a 10-bit transmission character. 8B/10B encoding supports continuous transmission and detects single bit transmission errors. This transmission encoding is used in a number of communications technologies including Serial ATA , Fibre Channel, ESCON, InfiniBand and Gigabit Ethernet.
