- DmenshunlAnlsis 8y agobut also reasonably low data loss of 3.5 dB/km. That still adds up at a distance though, so these crazy fast cables are most likely destined for supercomputer and data center applications, for now at least. Not really for communication, and I suspect that if you want it to scale up to 1000km, it’s going to strongly resemble the vacuum chamber I mentioned.
