Web hosting Glossary

Definitions of coaxial and fibre optic cable:

• A coax can provide 100 channels each of which is effectively a 36 Mbps pipe, these can be further broken down into 12 x 3 Mbps MPEG-2 digital television channels thus giving a total of 1200 channels (plus spare capacity for control and management) as opposed to one on a twisted pair. (There are many variations on this calculation, but all indicate an enormous number of channels.) Likewise a fibre optic cable can provide up to 150,000 times the capacity of a twisted pair.
