Abstract
SPC product codes are suitable for recovering lost symbols over erasure channels. These codes have a small minimum distance. However, they are capable of recovering a high number of erasures in some special cases, so the error correcting capability is higher than the minimum distance. In this work, we count the number of possible patterns that are uncorrectable when a number of erasures (up to 8) have occurred.
