    VC-201A / VC-204. Q4: What is the best date rate for VC-201A / VC-204? A4: We provide the data rate of the VC-201A / VC-204 is up to 100Mbps/55Mbps (downstream / upstream) in 200 meters. Q5: Can VC-201 compatible with VC-201A / VC-204? A5: Currently NO.
  • Page 28 Q6: What is SNR and what’s the effect? A6: In analog and digital communications, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, often written SNR, is a measure of signal strength relative to background noise. The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB). In digital communications, the SNR will probably cause a reduction in data speed because of frequent errors that require the source (transmitting) computer or terminal to resend some packets of data.
