In data networking and transmission, 64B/66B is a line code that transforms 64-bit data to 66-bit line code to achieve DC-balance and bounded disparity, and yet provide enough state changes to allow reasonable clock recovery. This means that there are just as many 1s as 0s in a string of two symbols, and that there are not too many 1s or 0s in a row. This is an important attribute in a signal that needs to be sent at high rates because it helps reduce intersymbol interference.

  • In data networking and transmission, 64B/66B is a line code that transforms 64-bit data to 66-bit line code to achieve DC-balance and bounded disparity, and yet provide enough state changes to allow reasonable clock recovery. This means that there are just as many 1s as 0s in a string of two symbols, and that there are not too many 1s or 0s in a row. This is an important attribute in a signal that needs to be sent at high rates because it helps reduce intersymbol interference. The overhead of the 64B/66B encoding is considerably less than the more common 8b/10b encoding scheme.
