A translator converts the first data stream to a second data stream at a second data rate. The translator includes a data appender that appends N bits to the first symbols in the first data stream to generate second symbols having M+N bits. A data duplicator duplicates the second symbols X times to produce the second data stream at the second data rate. M and X are integers greater than one, and N is greater than or equal to zero.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a Continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 11/891,930, filed Aug. 14, 2007, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,418,514, issued on Aug. 26, 2008, which is a Divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 10/646,601, filed Aug. 21, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,343,425, issued on Mar. 11, 2008, which application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/449,328, filed Feb. 21, 2003. The disclosures of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.
In a preferred embodiment, the /K28.5/D1.2/idle order set is chosen to replace the /K28.5/D16.2/idle order set to prevent disparity differences. Also there is minimal bit pattern difference in the 10 bit code. The /K28.5/D1.2/idle order set is 100010�0101, 011101�0101. The /K28.5/D16.2/idle order set is 100100�0101, 011011�0101. Note that this substitution should only apply in the context of the idle order sets and does not apply when sending packet data or sending configuration ordered sets.
