> it does have an extremely high bandwidth at 100 gbps Please don't believe even this (technically sounding) claim! You cannot specify the "bandwidth" of a cable, so even if they'd write 2Tbit/10km it would be just as made up as what they are writing now. What you can do is to specify physical parameters, such as attenuation at specific (most interesting: high) frequencies, distortion and reflection caused by impedance mismatches at the connectors. Then maybe it will meet the requirements to transport Ethernet accodring to the standard, and under the conditions specified therein (1000Base-T, IEEE 802.3ab), carrying 1 GBit/second over up to 100 meters. 100 GBit Ethernet, for what it's worth, is currently planned to go through these kind of connectors: https://www.google.de/search?q=cxp+connector&tbm=isch And while the cable being sold might be well shielded enough, and using a dielectric that allows it to exceed the attenuation requirement of Gigabit Ethernet by huge amounts, 100 GBit/s is so far off the scale that I'm pretty convinced that with current technology this is completely unattainable, even under best laboratory conditions. |
