Line Code

Line Code refers to a code in telecommunication that is chosen for use within a communications system for transmission purposes. A line code will typically reflect technical requirements of the transmission medium, such as optical fiber or shielded twisted pair. These requirements are unique for each medium, because each one has different behaviors related to interference, distortion, capacitance and loss of amplitude.
