Crikey, I couldn't afford enough fiber to recirculate a megabit!
Let's see--I'm after a 10MHz bitrate and the speed of light through

Think of the logic speed that would be required to keep track of
position of any given bit within the loop... !

1000000 bit on copper wire would occupy about 50000 metres of the stuff to
rely on the propagation delay to store the data. How about you do a serial
to 8 bit parallel conversion on the data then transmit it in parallel over 8
by 200ish metre cables then re-serialise the data at the other end. Or even
don't bother with the serialisation and leave it as a byte wide delay line
and then you don't have to stress on the logic speed issue.
