This is measured in megabits per second (Mbps) and gigabits per second (Gbps), which is 1000 times faster. <\/span>The greater the data transmission capacity, the more data can be transmitted in a given amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you were streaming a movie from Netflix to your TV, it would take longer to load if your internet connection only has 1 Mbps than if you were connected to a 10 Mbps connection. Bandwidth is important because it affects how quickly you can access data, load web pages, stream videos, and more. The bandwidth can be thought of as the diameter of the pipe through which the data flows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Copper Cables Can&#8217;t Keep Up with Demand<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>Copper is simple and cheap and has been the mainstay of interconnect solutions for over 100 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inneos.com\/technology\/copper-vs-fiber\/\">but it can\u2019t handle the bandwidth of high-performance systems any longer.<\/a> One issue with copper is its attenuation loss, which is the amount of signal that gets lost when it travels through a medium. The amount of attenuation loss depends on the length of cable and the frequency at which the data travels. The longer the copper cable, the more likely it is that some signal will get lost along the way, making it more difficult to detect the correct data at the receiver, which becomes a bigger issue at higher bandwidths.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copper also can only be used for one signal at time. If multiple signals were sent through copper cables at the same time, they would get mixed together and become useless. Fiber optic cables have no such limitation because they use light to transmit data instead of electrons, and different wavelengths of light can be transmitted at the same time in the same fiber without interfering with each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"652\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inneos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/copper-cliff-infographic_w_chart-1.png\" alt=\"Infographic with chart depicting the limits of copper bandwidth compared to fiber.\" class=\"wp-image-2849\" style=\"width:350px;height:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inneos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/copper-cliff-infographic_w_chart-1.png 652w, https:\/\/www.inneos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/copper-cliff-infographic_w_chart-1-261x300.png 261w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fiber Optic Cables Offer Massive Bandwidth<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The need for bandwidth is increasing.
