This paper describes the performance of a 560 Mb/s digital fibre‐optic link designed specifically for possible use in a broadband integrated services digital network (BISDN) environment. Four 140 Mb/s non‐return‐to‐zero (NRZ) channels are time division multiplexed using a bit‐by‐bit multiplexing strategy and transmitted using potentially low cost 1.3 μm EE‐LED and laser sources. A 10 −9 bit error rate with a power level of ‐34 dBm was achieved for each independent channel over a distance of 10 km.
