    As an add-on, don't forget too that these days, wired networks are almost universally SWITCHED networks, meaning network switches interconnect devices. This means that Ethernet collisions are almost non-existent because each device gets a dedicated pipe, so there's even less latency involved because you almost never need to account for two devices taking turns sharing the same wire

      In a wire information (not electrons) travels (almost) at speed of light and in a fiber information travels slower than light in void and it the light doesn't move in straight line, it goes to one side of the fiber, reflects and goes to the opposite side and so on.
      So on long distances wire can give lower ping, but also lower transfer

    Electrons move incredibly slowly in a wire. The drift speed is something like 1 mm every 5 seconds. They're just very tightly packed, so electrical impulses can move really quickly.

    • @Ocean_Man_
      @Ocean_Man_ 6 місяців тому

      They don't actually move, they just create small electric fields around them that transmit the charge (saw this on that one vertitasium video, might be wrong but its something like that), but it still takes longer for the signal to reach its destination because the photons take longer paths.

    • @DrCranium
      @DrCranium 5 років тому

      Wi-fi routers can have multiple antennas, and it is possible to get faster wireless connection thanks to them - but only if the client itself has got multiple wi-fi antennas inside it. Most of the time, though, that's not the case: 95% of handheld devices has got single antenna, quite a few laptops has got two of them, and only the premium priced laptops (Macbook, for example) can have three antennas for 3x3 MIMO Wi-Fi.

    Think of the cable connection like a train, and the wireless connection like a car.
    The cable connection follows the cable with very few interferences. The car on the other hand can start at the same spot, but it has to slow down either from traffic or whenever it gets to an interchange (in our case, other signals and internet routing).
    They will still both start and end their journeys at the same place, but they will take different paths in the middle.

    @0ZeldaFreak 5 років тому +3

    During my job training as an programmer during a Network Class, I was asked how I would advertise fiber Ethernet compared to copper and my first guess was that there is less latency and I got told that is not good advertising.
    Technically this isn't wrong, because light travels at light speed and electrons in a cable are a bit slower and one reason is that they don't take a direct path but with cheaper optical fiber, this is also the case. The latency difference is very tiny on scales like an office building. Sure for the stock market, anything that's faster, is better.
    I have an other question that maybe might be a good video.
    When you rented an apartment and you prefer cable on everything, you might run into an issue. Laying down cables to every room is hard. You can't open the wall and hide it nicely. When you try to cross rooms, you need to make a hole in the wall. I mean it should look nice, should be permanent, until you decide to move out and remove everything. There is the office style with this ugly cable channels at about 1m height and big at. The home solution might be smaller cable channels on the bottom of your wall, Ethernet outlets that you screw on the wall, instead putting them on the wall and drilling holes in the wall, to pass cables through the wall.
    There is a slight issue. With more cables, the holes need to be bigger and also the cable channels. Just let imagine how many ports a single person might need in a 2 room apartment. In the bedroom there is your TV and you might get a TV in the future that supports smart TV. You also have a streaming device like a Steam Link for one of your consoles and a docking station for your Nintendo switch. A Ethernet cable for your Fire TV or similar is not nessesary, because your future smart TV might replace this. Also because you are oldschool, you have a stationary Telephon with VoIP. You also have a spare port for your laptop. That makes 5 Ports but because the outlets come in dual config and there are cables for 2 ports, we make it 6 for the bedroom.
    For the living room, it's similar. 1 for the TV, 2 for Consoles, 1 for WiFi, 1 for your PC, 2 for Smart Device Hubs, 2 for a Nas, 1 for an additional PC, 1 for your VoIP Phone and 1 for your Printer. That are 12 more Ports. That are 18 Ports. I didn't mentioned Cameras or additional TVs or Displays with a streaming device. Sure everyone has other needs. Some have less consoles and some more and switching cables is a pain. I mean when someone is willing to get a proper setup, it's not that hard. A small server cabinet is easy to buy and a switch fits there in and it's tidy when done properly. I mean you even can put a server into it. Sure you can extend things with a switch. For example is the TV area. When you have 3 Consoles and your TV there, you put a 5 Port Switch there and it's not slow, because you only use one at a time. Also I forgot to mention that you can use PoE for devices that support this.
    I mean other solutions might be better for renting. Powerlan is a nice solution, because you don't need to put a lot of cables. One big downside is that the bandwidth is not great. With Lan, you easily can go to 10G, even when a handful of devices uses this. Your internet speed won't get faster but accessing your Nas might be better.
    One better solution might be fiber. The cables are way more thinner and theoretically can transmit to more than one device with other colors. At least 3, using rgb. Sure you can't bend the cables on sharp corners. Sure for converting, the ports should do the work but that maybe need external power. I don't think that the energy over a normal Ethernet cable is enough. Splitting the signals can done without power with simple filters.
    For me that sounds like a solution that's might be on the market. Sure fiber is nothing new but you need a device that converts everything and most devices only supports plain Ethernet.
    There should be better techniques, especially for people that don't want to destroy a lot. Making a hole in the wall for passing cables is something I hate. You need a long enough drillbit and that big enough. I bought a drill bit that was long enough and tried it on concrete. The hole was not the problem but the connector didn't fit through. You can't make the hole bigger without a proper bit. With paper walls this is no problem. I mean maybe there is also a device that are better for the holes. Fitting 3 twin cables through the wall for 6 Ports is quite hard but even more is way harder. Also these cables are harder to bend.

      Your device can't understand analog. Modems translate analog signal to digital. Your router is simply used to spread that signal wired by ethernet cables as many have a built in switch to have like 4 or so ethernet cables coming from them, or wirelessly through wifi antenna.

Don't forget that both the router and the wireless card transform digital data to analog and vice-versa.

    I hate to be that guy but the electrons themselves move quite slowly through a conducting wire. While your words at 0:50 are wrong, your message is still accurate. The *signal* travels through the wire at between 50-99% of the speed of light (according to wiki), so you're kinda forgiven.
    For anyone who is interested, which is probably nobody, if you have 15 amps passing through a 10 gauge copper wire, the electrons themselves are moving at around 0.21 millimeters per second. That's pretty slow. Has little bearing on the speed and latency of a connection though, so it isn't that important here. Another fact that nobody asked for is that "electricity" (meaning electrons) actually flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal on a battery.
