The Ten Bit Interface is connected to SerDes (serialiser/deserialisers)
which transport data serially at 1.25G/s. As the data has been 8 bit to 10
bit encoded this is equivalent to a 1 Gbs throughput.
Two SerDes can be connected directly to each other or to opto-electronics
for fibre optic transmission.
You can find more information in Clause 36 of IEEE 802.3
