It's all jitter - frequency modulation

There are no dropped bits once the signal is launched on the cable. Risetimes and frequency are too slow.

Jitter is caused by:
1) impedance mismatches that cause reflections that are sustained through several bit-cells
2) losses on the cable that cause shifting of edges in relative clock-time
3) dispersion caused by diectric absorption - makes the signal shift in time depending on the bit-pattern (data-dependent)
