    1.4 kilometer is the best for VC-231 / VC-234. Q4: What is the best date rate for VC-231 / VC-234? A4: We provide the data rate of the VC-231 / VC-234 is up to 100Mbps/100Mbps (downstream / upstream) in 200 meters.
  • Page 30 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.
