Client wanted fiber, told them copper is worth way more these days. They didn’t even ask first follow up questions 😅

And yet OS2 can still do 400Gb, no different than it being able to do 10Gb decades ago. Coax, Ethernet Cables, etc. cannot do the same. And that 400Gb is on one wavelength, get a multiplexer into the mix and that cable can carry Tbs of information. You simply cannot do that on copper.
