B3ZS (North American T3)
At the North American T3 rate (44.736 Mbit/s), bipolar violations are inserted if 3 or more consecutive zeros occur. This line code is called bipolar with three-zero substitution (B3ZS), and is very similar to HDB3. Each run of 3 consecutive zeros is replaced by "00V" or "B0V". The choice is made to ensure that consecutive violations are of differing polarity, i.e. separated by an odd number of normal B marks.
| Number of B bits since last V |
Pattern | Polarity of last B |
Coded |
|---|---|---|---|
| odd | 00V | + | 00+ |
| − | 00− | ||
| even | B0V | + | −0− |
| − | +0+ |

Famous quotes containing the word american:
“What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.”
—Ann Landers (b. 1918)
