IHeartBadCode, 5 months ago For those wanting a bit of a summary. transmitting up to 22.9 petabits per second (Pb/s) through a single optic cable composed of multiple fibers The breakthrough isn’t things moving faster but more fibers per cable. So you can transfer more bits in parallel. That’s still a good breakthrough because, for lots of reasons, packing more fibers in isn’t as straight forward as one would think.
