TRANSMIT PATH
RECEIVE PATH
Transmit Transcoder
Reduces line encoding overhead
Receive Transcoder
expands bit stream to original
64/66b format
self-synchronizing, reconstitutes
original bit stream
Descrambler
Gearboxing facilitates FEC symbol boundaries
IEEE 802.3bs specifies 16 PCSlanes across both 400GAUI-16
& 400GAUI-8 electrical interfaces

A Keysight Business
The IEEE 802.3bs Task Group defines specifications for 400 Gigabit per second Ethernet, where Forward Error Correction (FEC) is mandatory. See how a 400GBASE-R Reed-Solomon RS-544 (KP4 FEC) encode/decode works in operation.
