Problem

Sometimes I see bandwidth of e.g. ethernet cable mentioned in hertz instead of bits/sec. What does this tells about transmission rate? Can it be converted to bits/sec? For example: If bandwidth of some cable in hertz is 20 Mhz then can it assumed to be 20 Mbit/s?

Fix for: Bandwidth in frequency to bits/sec

Low Risk

A cable does not have any inherent bit transmission rate, whereas bandwidth is a measurable property. The cable can be thought of as a low pass filter. All cables can pass DC (f = 0Hz), but some cables have signal loss in the megaHertz range, while …
