Serial extension for 800/1600 Mb/s computer interconnect

HIPPI is an ANSI standard (X3.183-1991) for transmitting data in parallel between data processing equipment. To meet the need for transmitting HIPPI data serially on fiber or coaxial cable, serial-HIPPI was created. The authors describe the interface units required by serial-HIPPI, an extender for transmitting data serially between HIPPI nodes at 800 Mb/s or 1600 Mb/s.<
