Using coax, you just do one long cable run, rather than with twisted pair where you do an individual run for each computer/terminal.
Problem? coax's max is 10 Mbit/s, and every computer has to take turns accessing the coax.
Using 10 Mbit/s twisted-pair, each computer has its own, dedicated connection to the hub/switch/router, so you're not slowed down when more than one comptuer wants access.

What is the maximum distance coax can be ran for ethernet use?
Depends on the coax type - thinnet coax is 185 meters per segment, thicknet is 500 meters
What is the strength of coax for the Ethernet?
Coax has a better security protection because it's usually shielded. Also range for Coax is for thinnet about 175 meters for thicknet about 400 meters.
What is rg-11 cable?
It's the coax cable used for Thick Ethernet.
Max speed of coax?
Coax cable is OK for R.F. up to several gigahertz, over medium to short runs. For data, we went to twisted-pair with 100 megabit Ethernet, and twisted-pair is now used in 10 gigabit Ethernet. So... using Nyquist, you can probably use coax cable up to gigabit speeds over medium-short distances, but I'm not aware of anyone doing it. Maybe try a google search.
Max speed Ethernet for coax?

Does the Verizon fios -g1100 have an ethernet port?
Yes:WAN-Gigabit Ethernet and MoCA 2.0 InterfaceLAN-802.11 b/g/n/ac, Gigabit Ethernet and MoCA 2.0 InterfaceIntegrated Wired Networking with 4-port Ethernet Switch and Coax (MoCA 2.0)
Is ethernet the best if so how has it beat its competitors to be the best?
Yes, Ethernet is the best networking technology for LANs. Ethernet has beat its competitors by presenting several advantages over other technologies, e.g. higher bandwidth and easy configuration.
While Ethernet cables have enhanced in speed between Cat-5 Cat-5E and Cat-6 why haven't Coax enhanced at a similar rate?

You can't use your laptop without the desktop connect It doesn't have a modem to plug into the phone line What do you need to buy?
You will need to use an Ethernet connection in this case. Ethernet is a lot faster than a phone line. You will need a coax jack and a modem in order to have an Ethernet connection. For more convenience, you can just get an Ethernet wall jack installed if you don't have one yet, and you can just get an Ethernet cable to connect from the Ethernet wall jack to your computer, giving you a high speed internet privledge.
Can you use power over ethernet for usb ports?
Yes, you can use the power over ethernet for the USB ports.
What are the advantages of fast Ethernet?
One of the most recent and prominent reasons a person may switch to Ethernet is for the security. This is a highly secured connection compared to others.
