Didn't know you were on Quora.  I will have to find you there.

I don't know if there's an authoritative answer on what triggers those algorithms, but I've made inquiries to support and had a post unblocked.

I know they don't like links to specific products, and I suspect downvotes are a trigger also.

Here is the answer (asking the max data capacity of a coax).

First, it depends on the size of the cables. Coax has a cut off frequency that decreases with the diameter of the cable. Smaller diameter cables can convey more info. Then there is the Shannon equationsChannel capacity - Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_capacity>

So noise, transmitter power, receiver noise figure etc all have to be taken into account.

But let’s consider a 1 inch coax. You might get 5 GHz through it. With very high order modulation you might get 16 bits per hertz. So 80 GBps in a lab setting may be possible.

But this does not even scratch the surface of what a fiber can do in a much smaller size. There is no good reason to use coax if you want high data rates over a distance. Fiber will always be better.
