Line 1:

In [[telecommunication]], a '''line code''' is a [[code]] chosen for use within a [[communications system]] for [[transmission]] purposes.

<i>Note 1:</i> A [[line]] code may differ from the code generated at a [[user]] [[terminal (telecommunication)|terminal]], and thus may require translation.

<i>Note 2:</i> A line code may, for example, reflect a requirement of the [[transmission medium]], <i>e.g.</i> , [[optical fiber]] versus [[shielded twisted pair]].
