Light vs Analog wire Speed
Coax cables can be specified to carry 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps over distances up to 500 metres. But it is also dependant on the transmission equipment at either end. Some internet service providers are able to get up to 1000 Mbps or 1 Gbps, although this is uncommon.

Fibre optic: up to 10Gbps (at a data transfer rate of up to 10 billion bits per second)
Copper cable: 25-300 Mbps (at a data transfer rate of up to 300 million bits per second)
DSL: 0.5-75 Mbps.


The maximum distance of copper is around 328 feet (100 meters) which is a far shorter range than is offered by either of the fiber optic cable types. This is because fiber optic cable is not affected by attenuation, dispersion, or EMI in the same way that copper is.

Media converters are available that can increase the distance between any two Ethernet devices up to 2000 meters, (6,600ft) using multi-mode fiber, or up to 20000 meters (66,000ft) using single mode fiber without a repeater. Oracle MICROS recommends Transition Networks copper to fiber media converters.
