What cable has the highest data transmission rate?

I don't know much about this answer however I think the fastest data transfer cables are currently: USB 3.0 (Windows) Thunderbolt (Mac) *Not sure of what products have been designed with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. I do know that some Windows computers and storage devices do have USB 3.0 and the NEW MacBook Air does have Thunderbolt. PLEASE UPDATE WITH MORE SPECIFIED ANSWERS AND DETAILS.

What is the difference between a wireless NIC and an Ethernet NIC?

Wireless is just that; it's a wireless connection to your modem or router, which works by sending information through the air, much like cell phones or radio. By that same token, it is subject to interference, and people other than yourself may be able to remotely access your Internet connection if they can get past whatever security you've set up for it. Ethernet cable on the other hand is a physical cable for sending the same information; because it is not subject to the same interference as wireless, it is more reliable. Furthermore, if you make it so that you need to physically connect with a router, you can completely prevent the above scenario of someone hacking into and using your Internet connection through wireless. However, getting that physical connection can be arduous in a household with multiple computers because you need to find a way to get the cable from those computers to the router; avoiding this one-time hassle is why many people choose to use wireless instead.


The local cable TV company is considering removing all the coaxial cable and replacing it with fiber-optic cable List the advantages and disadvantages of this plan?

they are not planning on replacing all the wiring inside your home. What they are planning on doing is running a fiber line to the side of your house, called a "drop", similar to what you already have except it is coaxial cable. The advantage is much higher bandwidth which gives you faster internet because you are no longer "sharing" bandwidth with other cable users. Plus it opens up bandwidth for a ton more HD channels. The disadvantages to this would be they may either make you pay for the drop (which I doubt), or increase service rates. Either way, it is expensive to the provider and they would have to make it up somewhere.

Why can a laser beam travel through a curled-up optical fiber?

The laser shines through the fiber optic cable because the edge of the inside of the cable can act as a mirror. This is called internal reflection.

What is the difference between copper cables and fiber-optic cables?

Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.Both are meant to transfer signals, but they use quite different technologies.Copper will transport electrical signals.Fiber optic will transfer the signal as a ray of light.Of course, both are part of special technologies; fiber optics cable needs special switches and network cards to work with it.
