Which type of cable is known for providing high-speed data transfer capabilities up to 10GB per second or more?

Fiber optic cable is known for providing high-speed data transfer capabilities of 10GB per second or even higher, thanks to its use of light to transmit data. This technology allows for significantly greater bandwidth compared to traditional copper-based cables. Fiber optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference and can transmit data over long distances without degradation, making them ideal for high-speed internet connections, data centers, and backbone connections in network infrastructure.

In contrast, while twisted pair cables, such as Category 6 (Cat 6), also support high-speed data transfer, their maximum speeds typically reach up to 10GB per second over shorter distances (up to 55 meters). Coaxial cables are mainly used for television and internet connections and do not reach the same high data transfer rates, especially over long distances. Thus, each of these other cable types has inherent limitations compared to the superior performance and capacity of fiber optic cables.
